Rust on Disc Rotors

I have not ridden my bike for a couple of weeks and noticed some rust on my rotors. I did some research and this what I did. I bought some white vinegar and sprayed it on the rotors and then used a wire brush. It came off pretty good. I did have some problem getting to the back side but I figured it out. After that was done I hosed it off and then applied Hyde's Rust Stopper. Which I purchased online at https://www.detailersdomain.com/prod...erum-rustopper. The rust stopper goes on while the rotor is still wet. You just let it dry and your done. Now keep in mind that the rust stopper will not clean the rust off the rotor. It will just protect it from rusting again. I going for a ride tomorrow and hope there are no issues. I hear riding the bike and braking a lot will also remove the rust. I will see tomorrow. The reason for the post is to see if anybody has had this problem and if there is a better way to do what I did. Thanks

All you had to do was take it for a ride and by applying the brakes, the disc brake pads would clean the rust off the rotors.
