Default Rust burping Rineharts

Got to take a nice breakfast run up to Union Street Station in New Braunfels TX today with my wife which was great. I think they had over 55 varieties of omelets. Once I got the bike in the garage I noticed watery rust stains oozing out of the pipes. Upon closer inspection the baffles have quite a bit of surface rust on them. My OCD kicked in so I removed the end caps and tried to remove the baffles which was a no go. Damn near rocked the bike off the Jiffy Stand... I ended up using rust removing jell and painting the inside of the baffle (as far as I could reach) with some BBQ paint.

Anyone else have a better solution?

The baffles should remove if the retaining screws are removed. I think all exhaust pipes have some surface rust due to the moisture in the exhaust.
