I just installed my R1 Concepts carbon Geomet rotors and their OE equivalent pads. I followed they’re bed in procedure by the book. The front rotors have a multi color glaze now and wondering if it’s normal. I let them cool down for the prescribed 20 minutes and was light on then till I got home. I’m hoping that after more use the glaze will go away.

I had the power stop Z26's on my 17 1SS and plan on doing the same for the 19 ZLE, I did power stop's method of 40 to 10 (5 times) then 35 to 5 (5 times) then drove for 5 min without stopping and mine never looked like that, but I had stock rotors and plan to use the stock rotors on the ZLE.

Sounds normal according to the web page. I would call them if you're still concerned

Yes that is the procedure I used, and yes they do say it’ll take 500 miles so I guess I’m just being a little paranoid and impatient!

Wait you just did that up here in Buffalo? I get it's been warm here, but I am surprised you even got them warm enough to bed as much material on them as you did. Looks great !
I don't like how the instructions tell the reader to park for 20 minutes after the third step, but it sounds like you drove around a bit before this step, which is better, in my opinion.

Yeah I couldn’t resist taking it out today even with a little salt still on the roads! Yes I drove around during the cool down period without applying the brakes.
