Yes I meant gouge..and yes you can damage the OEM galvanized coating on the surface of the rotor. It has nothing to do with the rotor's thermal capacity
If you have plugged up brake rotor holes you are simply not washing the car enough..as others have said simple hose will take care of it..nothing turns to cement.
On the inboard side it wouldnt matter as you cant see it..we are talking only aesthetics here.
