Unhappy Brake Rust.... Suggestions?

I really like having my car looking the best it can however I always seem to have rust on the brakes.... and it definitly detracts from the appearance. any suggestions of how to clean it off or how to keep it off?

thanks...

The brake discs are cast iron, and by their very nature they will develop minor surface rust, particularly in humid conditions.

The easiest way to remove the surface rust? That's easy - a couple of good hard stops from 50mph should suffice. :p
