Rotors are $40-ish each for good ones, and OK ones can be had for about $30 from AutoZone or other chain store.
You have to take them off anyway to soak them in the gunk you're using, you're already over half way through the job of putting on new rotors. And the gunk probably won't remove all the rust, you'll probably still need to wire wheel or sand the rotors to get a clean surface.
I had rusty rotors on daughter's '99 9-3. It wasn't driven a lot and the rears always seemed to rust fast. The rotors and pads were done for anyway so replaced them. Turned out that the back side of the rotors were in *really* bad shape. Cleaned up the calipers while I was at it and all is well.
