Uneven deposits often happens after track days.
Here's what I do when my rotors are "warped" - the most common misdiagnosis for the deposits and shuddering you describe.

Spray a fine mist over the rotors at the end of the day, a full hosing down works too.

Let the car sit at least overnight, giving the water a chance to get under the deposits and start to oxidize the surface of the rotors.

In the morning (or whenever) do your best too avoid stepping on the brakes until you get the car up to 30 mph or better and then stab the brakes hard. Repeat 2x.

The deposits will be magically scraped away and the rotors will be fine until you need to do it again.
