That's a warped brake rotor.

+1. Your rotors are not "warped" but rather have deposits on them.

Order new rotors and break them in properly. 8 lugnuts and 8 bolts and you can replace the front rotors in 45 min. Stock rotors are about $40 at autozone/advanced auto

This is for removing the pads. However after the pads and caliper are removed, remove the 2 18mm bolts holding on the caliper bracket. Then remove the rotor, replace it with the new one and do the reverse. The two 18mm bolts for the caliper bracket are then tightened to 81 ft/lbs
