Advice for removing brake pad imprint
I run the FM LBBK Wilwood Powerlites on the front of my ND miata. I'm using G-loc GS1 pads on some 2 piece wilwood rotors. I managed to get a pad transfer mark on one rotor when I bedded them in last summer, which I didn't think was really a thing with the GS1 compound. But I can see it, and feel it when spinning the rotor by hand. It's noticeable when decelerating slowly on freeway off ramps, and annoying enough I want to fix it. This is something I don't have any experience doing. What's the easy button approach to removing a pad transfer mark given my setup?

Finally tore into this. One rotor has .006" runout at the extreme outside edge of the friction ring and about .003" at the OD of the face of the hat. I dissambled & reassembled it, put it on another hub, and it's still there. So, bad hat I guess? I sanded down paint... still same. I'm not in love with the idea of buying a whole new rotor if the hat is the only bad part, but oh well.
