That's like after a good rain then after braking once right?
Mine do that every time it rains.

new rotors or pads won't fix that. that's just surface oxidation that forms because the rotors are steel. I'm not aware of any fix.

If you could find some stainless steel or ceramic (or other non-carbon steel) rotors, that might prevent it, but other than that, there's not a heck of a lot you can do about it. As you've noticed, a single braking is normally all it takes to remove the rust.

The rotors will return to normal with a very short drive.
