Could this be from getting a lot of water on them, or should I get the pads checked?
It is quite common for the brake rotors to get a coat of surface rust on them right after washing the car. It happens fast. The first few applications of the brakes will remove the surface rust but the pads might make a scraping sound during this time (for a few stops). After that, everything should be back to normal. If the brakes continue to make a noise after this, you might want to have them checked.
