I do the leaf blower thing. However, enough moisture still remains on the rotors for the problem to occur.

JD- The dealer once told me of a product that they safely use for this purpose at detailing and for cars on the lot. It is only good for one significant brake application, however, and has to be applied before the water gets on the brakes, so it seemed like a lot of hassle for a little benefit. But maybe if my car spent more time in a garage and less time driving or parked outside fending for itself, this would be helpful. I can't recall the name, but I bet someone at your dealership knows.
I wouldn't try the WD-40 trick --- unless you are tired of speed yellow!

I figured you get a lot of tang, but I guess you don't want it on your wheels.

JD,

I've used this (and a couple of their other products) when I did a complete brake job on our '10 Subaru Forester about three months ago. Never have seen any signs of light rust on the rotors from all the rainy days we've been having -- same thing with my wife's MB, and I replaced those brakes several years ago. The chemical stays on the rotor. I found out about this stuff from a guy that sells Porterfield pads for Mercedes and includes a kit with the pad purchase.
