How do you guys deal with the rust buildup from the rotors after a wash? I know you can drive it around the block while it's still wet and knock off the rust. But then my car would get dirty again, and I could potentially inflict scratches while drying the car. Is there a trick you guys use to get rid of the rust without washing the car twice? It's annoying to have a freshly washed car and then drive it a day later to have your wheels coated in an ugly brown layer of rust.

I also noticed the taillight area water gets stuck in there like crazy. I use a leaf blower to dry the car, but I can't seem to get all of it out. I open the trunk and try to get all the nooks and crannies. It seems nice and dry, only to drive a day later and notice a huge patch of watermarks all over the rear bumper. How do you guys deal with this? My car is garage kept so that might cause the water to stay there and not evaporate. But I don't wanna park my car outside just to let it dry, and expose it to the elements (sun, pollution).

For rusty calipers I use this product.

As to the water, maybe you need a more powerful blower to get that water out. Spend some time blowing out any seams, crevices, especially the license plate area. Don't be afraid to get the blower within a couple inches of areas that collect water, you might even have to redo those areas twice to get all the water.

I found that after stopping 2-3 moderate brake pressure, it dries the rotor completely. By doing a 100 yard drive, I got some of the water to bead off the car as well making drying easier, didn't attract dirt/dust that could scratch the paint as I first worried about.
