Where did you order these from?
I didn't think coated rotors were oil filmed. But yeah I did try brake clean and it did not wipe away. Seems like it's part of the coating or the material?

Oh just to clarify, 2 of these pictures are the same rotor and the third one is one of the rotor that are good. They both came in their own boxes.
