Is this normal? Gave the wheels a good spray and within 2 days, all 4 discs are now badly rusted!

It's just surface rust. Have a drive around the block and your normal braking will grind back the rust and the rotors will be shiny again.

Take one of the wheels off and see the rust on the hub !!!
You will quickly forget about surface rust on the discs

I found that if I washed the car and didn't move the car till the next day the brakes seize. Makes a definate bang when they free up when I move the car. Now I always take it for a quick spin to diperse any water from the brakes. First time it happened I siht bricks.Golf R, Rising Blue, 5 Door, DSG and some extra fruit.

That's an option. I take it for a spin as a pre inside wheel clean these days so doesn't happen anymore.Originally posted by Candyman View PostGolf R, Rising Blue, 5 Door, DSG and some extra fruit.
