The rust will just come back later. You can try cadmium plated rotors to minimize rust, but there's not much else you can do.

Take them off and have them machiened, it's like $10 per disk, but like SW20 MR2 said, it will come back. Save some $$$ and buy the cadmium palted one. There nice, and paint your calipers too!

Don't paint your calipers... it's ghay. Just clean then with a wire brush and brake cleaner.

I had cad plated rotors, they were bunk. Heat still kills rotors, not rust.
