rusty wheels

ok i was changing a tire the other day and i noticed the pads and discs on the front of my punto are starting to get really rusty, is there a good way to get it off and prevent it?

thanks,

Ash.

wd40 before each drive haha
really dont to that. but there is nothing you can do really. the disc is cast steel that will turn orange in a day if wet. and the pads are mild steel backed so they will rust.

why does it matter tho? as you said you only noticed when you removed the wheel.
