I haven't used this mix but here's one I found:

Take a ½ kilogram of paraffin wax or candle making wax and grind it up with a cheese grater. Soak it in 2 liters of mineral spirits/ Paraffin/ Kerosene/ lamp oil/ Diesel until all of the wax is dissolved. It might take a couple of weeks. Stirring will cause most of the wax to dissolve, but soaking should take care of the rest, heating the mixture in hot water (no open flames) will add in the quick dissolving of the wax. Generally try to dissolve as much wax as the mineral spirits/ kerosene/ paraffin/lamp oil/ Diesel will hold. Pour one liter of mineral oil/ non-detergent motor oil into the dissolved mixture. If the mixture is too thick for spraying you can thin it further with more mineral spirits until it is of a spray-able consistency.

these rotors look fine to me... I hope this was not on a car that was currently being driven! if so, it's a good sign of seized calipers...

but I've seen a LOT worse rotors than those. I'd put those on my car! I'd hit them with a wirebrush or side grinder with a wirewheel on it first though! I don't see any ridge, or anything detrimental, and there appears to be plenty of meat left in them.

Can you say pulsation...
The pits on each face don't show well, the crusty rotors have an average (ripple) run out of roughly 0.04 inch = 1.016 mm.
