Default Did I warp my rotors?

I meant to ask this the other day. And where do brake issues go? suspension and handling? performance? I'll just put it here for now haha.

So I was washing my car and ran out of wheel cleaner and had to go to the store to get more. it was heavy traffic and city driving so lots of 30-0 stops and it was 100+ outside. When I got back, without thinking, I just sprayed the wheels down so I could finish my wash and hssssssssss steam from rotors pours off. Whoops. I haven't gotton a chance to drive it since because we left for florida so... I'm kinda nervous for when I get back. Think I warped them or I'll be ok? I know the truth hurts so just lay it on me.

I doubt they are "warped". The term "warped" is just build-up on the rotor itself and not the actual metal deforming. And the his is just the water boiling and evaporating.

I thought warped was when they were bent and pulsate a little. So do you think theyre fine? I know on mountain bikes ive bent rotors by a lot of hard braking then crossing a stream. The temperature change screwed them. But a car rotors are soooooo much thicker and probably a different material haha

they aren't warped dude, inorder to warp metal like that it has to be glowing red, cooled quickly, and it would rust over fast.

they are not warped, 100% guarantee it.
