Brake Rotor Rust

Does the brake rotor rust, particularly after a wash, make anyone else mental? First drive after a wash deposits a layer of rust dust all over the wheels. Any solution other than blow drying the rotors before rust can set, which is almost instantly?
First world problems, I know.

Agreed, it’s really irritating to do all that detailing only to be presented with a problem that wasn’t there when you started washing it
There are products out there like the following Bilt Hamber, good review# though I’ve never tried it.

If Porsche offered them, PCCB would be the way to go, less brake dust and no rusty rotors after a wash.

Wonder if that's a humidity-related thing? My 992 has carbon ceramics, so no issue there, but even on my 944 and Truck, I just don't see that very often....maybe because of the dry Californian air?
But on a related (kind of) note, I find it very weird that the car wash water (and rain) hits the hot exhaust on my 922 and sizzles off in a big cloud of steam. Hopefully, it's hitting a hot heat shield, but I'm so sure about that. I always let the car cool down before washing now to avoid the steam cloud. And don't get me started about the frunk popping open when washing the car with the key in your pocket!

Same with the 718. Like being at a hibachi grill.

I do drive back and forth on the driveway applying some brake pressure after I am done with washing and drying my car. This does help remove the rust somewhat and then I use the blower on the wheels again once the car is parked in the garage. Not the perfect conclusion but it is somewhat better than just leaving all the rust on the rotors.
