I bend out the wonks and they come back after a long ride 😐
I'm using a big adjustable spanner and taking a lot of time over it to ensure no rub but it seems to revert back to it's annoyingly un-flat shape.
I'm using Juicy 5s with the stock rotors. They're also squeeling like a piggy. I just cleaned the pads and rotors with IPA
as in:

Any suggestions? Is it from hard braking heating up a spot, expanding a localised bit of the rotor?
it may be that they have enough 'wonk' in them that you'll never successfully straighten them for any length of time 🙁
I feared as much, do floaters have less of an issue with wonking?
Are they distorting when you're riding or in storage?

Mine float and they have a wonk in them.
I think if the wheels flex whilst you are braking then that will probably put some wonk in your rotor. I get this occasionally with my floating rotors but it takes 5 seconds to bend them slightly with my thumb to eliminate any rubbing.
I think they distort after riding. They're never 100% after I correct them as it's so fiddly.
It's not a huge problem....but it's not quite right!
Wheel flex will not distort a rotor, otherwise your hub would be deforming as well!
Is it possible that something is knocking into the rotors? For example in the car?
All my rotors are not 100% true, but possibly only 1mm out of true.
