Brakes Squeal

Surface rust after washing my car doesn't surprise me, but compare the difference between the pic of the rotor on my LC while I was washing it (after just a few minutes being wet) to what the rotor looked like on my RDX after being washed (with virtually no sign of rust). I've also added a couple of pics to show the rust on the inside of the rotor which is how the LC arrived. I've never seen a brand new vehicle have that much rust on the rotor, even when it's been shipped from Japan. Maybe others have a different experience? Either way, it's very disappointing that the LC doesn't have any type of rust preventative coating on the part of the rotor that has badly rusted.

2 cents - mine had nothing like that in terms of rust. Looks like saltwater corrosion to me. Maybe your unit was near an open hatch on the ship and picked up some ocean spray?
Mine squeals a little on backing up just on first drive of the day.
I was thinking the same thing. That looks like salt water.
I would wash them thoroughly and keep an eye on them.
If the rust continues, have your trusty
