Default Rust/Corrosion on brakes

Hello there

I have got a question, I changed all the brakes (Midas take care of that), so rotors, pads, calipers, discs .... But maybe 1 month later, I saw some rust on it (on all of them, and not a little ! ), and it appeared when it is raining. There is not rust on the brake disc (which is normal, when I brake the rust/corrosion dissapear) but there is rust on all the brakes !!! And it is like there are 10 years old !!!! Is there some product that I can use to clean that ? I just don't want to go to the dealer, I need my car, so if I can do it myself

thanks

its normal and comes off very easy. just use a steel wire brush and it should come right off

yeah its just alot of break dust which will kill the caliper finish. just paint your calipers with some caliper paint and make sure you clean them regulary, other than that your gonna get that rusty look.
