You can sand pads flat so it should be no problem getting deposits off another surface. But after the METAL was still wavy. I'm also pretty sure the machine shop I took it to would have noticed if they were taking brake pad down, and not METAL(along with the 30 other rotors they do on a daily basis, that's a lot of "TV removal")

You obviously let a couple typos get in the way of reading and understanding the article. Of particular relevance is the bit about "cementite", which is harder than iron, and is the cause of most "warped rotor" complaints. It can't be removed with sandpaper.

And I'll take my advice from experienced brake system engineers. Follow their advice exactly and you might see better results. For example, you claim to have "sanded" your rotors, did you do so with the specific type of paper recommended in the article? Or did you use the specific type that they recommended AGAINST using?

You're not a brake system engineer. Neither am I. Neither is the HS grad who turns your rotors at your local machine shop. 'nuff said.
