When they are dry, a small wipe of petroleum jelly (vaseline) works wonders, it will harden to a thick gel and stay in place, DON'T get it on the disc operating surface and DON'T spray anything near the disc! Decent quality bolts won't rust so you could consider changing.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

I will do this sounds like a good idea. But redarding nicklouse's comment -nicklouse wrote:dont worry about it.
Why shouldn't I worry? Will it not corrode the bolts, making it a problem to undo / tighten in the future?0 -
It's a bit of surface rust. It will become a serious problem after a decade or two.I don't do smileys.

I may be exaggerating a bit, but unless you use aluminium bolts, which are not a good ideas for anything stressed, they will rust a bit.I don't do smileys.
