Default Disc discolored from heat - How to shine?

Long story short, my front disc got overheated and changed color...anyway to get it back to normal?

I was wondering about heating it up some and using Easy-off oven cleaner...worked on my pipes.

I think you will have to sand it off and polish back up, the discoloration is deeper than just the surface.

The disc would have to be sanded or try some Scotch Brite.

I second the Scotch Brite. Works for me.
