rusted brake discs after winter sleep!

Dear all, This weekend I woke my 911 after it's winter sleep, and found out that rust was all over my new brake disks. Apparently the garage isn't as dry as I expected it to be! Is there any remedy against this evil, should I spray the discs with brake cleaner before winter storage?? I was even thinking about silicon spray, alhough that means not having any brakes for the first 50+ km's.

Your suggestions are highly appreciated!

Thanks

Don't do anything. The rust will come right off the brakes after you use them a few times. At all costs I would avoid silicone spray, it is asking for a disaster.

Ditto. There is nothing, besides brake cleaner, you can safely put on those rotors. The brake pads will sand them shiny on your first drive of the spring.

if it's been sitting outside for a long time, the rust gets pretty bad, and only machining will get it off. thick rust only gets polished by the pads and then provides a really hard, slick, black surface with poor brake response.

A little bronze wool will clean it right off, then just blow the dust into the garden.
Don't let it sit on the cement driveway however, it will color the cement.
