I've always wondered if those wheel cleaners are causing some kind of anti-rust coating to come off the rotors and speeding up corrosion.
Similar, but it works WAY better on paint.

And no, they don't speed up corrosion. However, when you remove the iron oxide sitting on a steel part, the bare steel is going to rust pretty quickly. Some people like to use Iron-X as a touch up paint prep.
