Default Cleaning discolored brake rotors

Any recommendations of a product that won't affect the performance of the brakes? This is for a C7 Z06

Are you discussing the rotor hats or the rotors themselves after washing in which they take on a rust appearance ???

Not the rust, just the metal discoloration. Not a huge deal, I was just wondering.

The swept area where the brake pad meets the rotor will take on a bright to dull silver appearance. The holes on drilled rotors always seem to have a bit of a rusty appearance and the spray above will help temporarily. The rotor hats (center) can be repainted and they sell cap covers too. I have also seem some paint the far edge around the rotors. Hope that helps some ....
