Grazed in what way? It can be contaminated by the oil, sometime sintered take a while to bed in (as in they do howl the first time unlike organic), and rotor may have wear on them even when cleaned.

unsure how to describe glazing, they're shiny and smooth looking, you can make out a very rough reflection in the glazed section of them. A little bit like the picture below. I've roughed them up with drywall sanding mesh to get rid of any contaminants etc., but they just glaze over again.
If the rotors are super worn are they likely to be the cause of it?They've been fitted for the best part of a year now, the front brake barely stops the bike, even when I'm squeezing as hard as possible.

I'm having no luck with my hope brakes. They're bled, no spongyness or dead spots as far as I can tell, but the Hope sintered pads (which I splashed out on thinking they'd be better) glaze over from a day of riding around town. I've got two mismatched rotors which haven't been changed but have been cleaned with brake cleaner etc.
Are there any tips to get the sintered pads working properly? I thought they were supposed to be some of the best ones.
I'm thinking of upgrading both rotors and pads, any suggestions for the best bang for buck etc.?
