I realize the surface rust on the rotors is normal and it goes away with a quick drive. The problem is I won't be able to do any type of driving for several months. My question is, will the surface rust on my rotors turn into a deeper problem over the next couple months?
Storage shouldn't lead to pitting of the rotors. Like you, after a car wash I will notice that the rotors are orange with surface rust and, also like you, it disappears after the first use. I stored my car after driving it so that there was no surface rust on the rotors; 2 1/2 months later they are still shiney even though my car is stored in an unheated garage. I wouldn't worry about it.
Absolutely nothing to worry about. My RUF does the exact same thing. Upon getting the car out for the first time the brakes may be ceased on just a little, again, nothing to worry about. When you first move you'll notice that the car feels like the ebrake is still engaged, give it the littlest throttle blip while in gear and the brakes will let go. Everything from there on will work normally!
Eases my find for sure. Thought I was going to have to take off the wheels, "sand" down the rotors, then use brake cleaner followed by some sort of light petroleum product to prevent further damage. With a serious lack of room in my garage during the winter months, that would turn into a huge project.
