Removing brake dust build up on rotors?

I have the Toyota 4x4 brake conversion with vented rotors on my track car. The high heat eventually deposits a microscopic film on the rotors, which makes them vibrate like the rotors are warped. Is there a good way to clean them without having to get the rotors turned?

One option I have heard is to use MetalMaster brake pads to clean them up. If there is a quicker easier way, I am open to proven suggestions.

TIA,

Marty

Hi, Marty.

I experienced the same thing with drilled/slotted (solid) rotors using Hawk "blue" pads. I switched back to OEM rotors and problem went away. I don't know if your rotors are drilled/slotted, but that possibly could increase the amount of pad wear causing the deposit build-up.

I'm still using stock calipers, so there may be an apples/oranges thing here.
