You can get the rotors resurfaced. Any brake shop and even most mechanics can do it. And don't let someone try to make you think you need a whole new set of rotors.

If you have abrasive pads (HP+), it's possible you can repeat the bed-in procedure to remove the deposits. If you don't know how to do this, I recommend resurfacing.
It was definately some stop-start. 0-70 brake, stop. launch, 0-70, etc.
and then after about 15 min or so I parked for awhile after stopping to talk to this guy in a 2010 STI who loved my car.
