Keep in mind that bearings are right at that location so use caution.
You also have 2 discs but 4 sides.
What are the conditions of bearings?
Are the calipers OK.
It would probably be best to jack the bike UP and remove the wheel and inspect calipers & bearings.
If bike is in San Juan then it looks like it was maintained out doors.
With wheel OFF I would try some wet sanding paper...maybe 2000 grit.
The sliders could use some time too.
What is the date code on those tires?

If you try 1000 grit or #0000 steel wool, you will be worn out before making a dent.
Take the rotors off, work on a flat surface, place a towel underneath. Start with 600 grit and a random orbital sander, go to 320 grit. You can stop there or keep getting finer, finish on a buffing wheel if you want them to really shine.
I stop at 320 and polish on a buffing wheel I prefer the look over fully chrome like polished.
