Rotor Rust

Only 800+ miles on the odometer and recently noticed somewhat unusual pad/rotor wear on my front passenger rotors. I don't feel any vibration or shuddering when braking light or hard. Curious if my brake pads are wearing uneven? I do recall my brakes sticking really hard after I washed the car one evening and started to drive the next morning.

That's just the brake pad haven't fully seated yet.

It will even out after some miles.

Also, everytime after wash, brake pad have chemical reaction to the rotor will get it to stick for a bit.

Don't use break/rim cleaner. I used it on my GLE and it really messed up my rotors.
