Default Polished S/S Front Rotor Question

Okay I installed two front polished S/S rotors, installed kevlar pads accordingly to avoid scratching them up. I have seen heat marks however in the form of blueing. These are high quality rotors as well.

Is this normal? I have talked to several people and they say yes, just curious if others have had similar experiences.

I'm using organic pads and they still blue some. Just the way it is I'm afraid.

I was curious if this was common. I wonder if there is a way to un-blue them without damaging the finish? Anyone?
