Default Rusty brake discs! (K-sports)

As my scoobs been idle for a good few months the rust has built up on the K sport 330mm discs, whats the best way to clean these before use or best to get them skimmed?

Thanks

Drive the car and use the brakes gently and progressively - only likely to be surface rust unless you live right by the sea or in a salt mine

That's what I did when mine was otr for 6 months.

The discs rust in under an hour in damp conditions

As above, best way to clean them - use them. Gently for a while then a few decent stops
