Default Rust on 09 stock wheel hub

We bought our 09 coupe with the Z51 package on it a couple of months ago and all four wheels at the base of the rotors have rust on them. I asked the Chevy dealer about it and they said it was common on the C6s. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove it? Thanks.

I purchased 2006 & 2008 Vettes both with Z51 performance package. Both rusted after about 3 months. Took GM to arbitration on 2008 and lost because it was not considered a safety issue. But they agreed it was a cosmetic problem that they were not responsible for. Had hubs painted at another dealership with high temperture paint and that works. $350 in labor. Good luck!
