[AMC-List] Rusty rotors?



I am sitting here thinking is there anything that can safely be sprayed on a brake rotor to  stop it from rusting while a vehicle is in non-use?
 I'm talking parked for a few weeks to a month, but not in long term storage.
Something that could be sprayed thru the wheels and behind to slow the rust down, but it would need to be self cleaning. 
  I know, dream on, but our Jeep can sometimes sit for weeks at a time and the rotors have rusted in till we've lost a good third of the braking power and it vibrates, not from warped rotors, but from rust. We've been using it regularly, but the rust is heavy enough it's not cleaning off and I expect to be replacing rotors and pads soon.
  I'm also planning on swapping mid nineties Grand Cherokee rear discs on it at the same time, although I can't decide if that is a good idea with the rust issues.
  Right now, the brakes just plain suck on it and I need to get it fixed! The reason for the rear disc swap is I've heard nothing but good reports on this and I've never been impressed with XJ braking! I'm looking for a little more whoa!
Even when the brakes have been good on the XJ's I've owned they never seemed up to par. I can always remembr that feeling of doom, if you don't hit the clutch when you hit the brake pedal as it seems the torque of the 4.0L is better then the clamping force of the XJ brakes! I'd like to be able to stall the engine in a panic stop without hitting someones rear bumper to do it!
