Caliper / Rotor drippings on wheels

[First Vette 03C5]

Hi,

When I wash my wheels 15 minutes later the brown drips start and leave nice brown spots on my clean wheels. Any good tips to avoid this ... run it before washing, blower?

Thanks!

If you're getting rust dripping off of your rotors............what I do is back it up slowly about 15 or 20 feet while dragging the brake petal (lightly) then forward again still dragging the brakes. This dries the rotors enough that you should not have a problem after that...besides, I can't stand looking at my car in the garage (which I do about 10 times a day) with the rotors all orange....YUCK!

Drips

After I wash mine I blow the wheels with compressed air, this stops
the rust drips from forming. You can actually go around the car while
drying it blowing in the mirrors, the rear side marker lights and the
emblems to get all the water out before you drive it................
