Thanks for the reply, forgot to mention it's always happens under braking.

As an update, I did about 5 hard stops (70%) from 70-30mph.

And then power braked my car at 3k RPM at 65 mph for about 15 secs and it has mostly gone away.

I'm surprised it takes this long tbh.

Op- Are you able to post pics of the rotors- was there visual signs of deposits? I have blue/gray streaks and spots on my rotor from a few hard laps but many said the marks were burns and not pad material. I also got severe pulsating under hard braking so not sure how to navigate the rotors.

Blue/gray streaks are normal. If these laps were done with street pads, you might be able to get away with wiping both sides of the rotor with paper towels to clean it up, then your regular pads should do the rest over a few weeks. Or you can get track pads and they'll clean it up a bit quicker. Earlier posts have other tips as well.
