    New Wagner brake rotors rusted/discolored..

    I purchased 2 new premium Wagner brake rotors from Amazon.com and they are discolored and rusted a bit, also there is some type of resin on them. Tried cleaning with brake cleaner, but no help. Is this normal for a brand new rotor, or should I return these? thanks. Uploaded with ImageShack.us
