I just got a 324 in a bundle it works as designed but the rotor paint looks "chalky" for lack of a better term?

I cleaned it with "Awesome" to no avail.

Nature of that cheap beast. They all do it. Isn't that rotor plastic?

Superlube made it better

Armor All, corn oil, just about anything will saturate the oxidation and scratches making it look new again.  It has to be reapplied often though.

I sold all of mine from that series,.. got tired of chasing cracked rotors with NOS replacements that are delicate too.

Yeah, once the sun or moisture hits them the oxidation will come right back. Even a clear coat doesn't seem to last forever.  :-\
