Thats the rotors oxidizing a bit and the pads probably sticking. Not a issue. You'll also notice your rotors look rusty after washing until you drive it some. Just surface stuff.. nothing really to worry about.

Yea I usually take it for a quick spin when I finish washing my car, making sure I brake to clean off that rust. Plus it helps take out the water in those places you can't reach when drying.

hmmm, i thought it was the tires. one time after i washed my car, i put it in the garage for bout a week and when i went to move it in reverse, it wouldn't move til i rev'ed it up more. then i heard a loud thump, after i moved it, i checked the floor and there were dry water marks on the floor.

in other words, its no big deal, just take it for a quick spin.

Next time you park your car after a wash, leave the parking brake off, just put it in first. You'll notice that it doesn't happen.
