Non-issue.
Any water on the rotors will do what water does to metal from any source: rain, car wash, moisture condensation from ambient temp changes. Exposed metal surfaces will start rusting. And then the surface rust will get scrubbed off first time you use the brakes. No big deal.

You are over-worrying about this - just wash the wheels + calipers the same way you wash your car. Probably even less thoroughly, since no-one really looks at them too closely.
