Steel reacts with the elements, that's nothing to do with quality, it's just plain science. As far as your chain goes, it is rusting because it hasn't got sufficient/correct lubrication on it (for the conditions), the rust is a warning that you are damaging other parts of the drivechain. You cannot coat the brake discs, they have to wear as it is a friction device, so they will rust if you do not dry them - just like any other exposed steel!

The answer could be to use Carbon discs, but for me I'd rather replace my discs every year that take the hit of the cost of carbon brakes!
