i have just changed my discs for the 285 mm hi spec big disc kit just wondering i have hardly used red stuff that was used with my old discs before i swaped if is poss to reuse them just wondering dont mind buying new ones

if there's plenty life on them then fair enough, clean the face of them to remove uneven wear or you will end up wearing your new discs unevenly.
Don't do it if you not sure how to! and sorry but if you need to ask how to it means your probably not capable of doing it! Don't take any chances!

Can you not just bed them in again: 60-10, 60-10, for about 20 times for example?

 

[warpspeed]

you should still get the surface flat before bedding them in though

i heard sandpaper or rubbing them across flat concrete surface not sure if they work though

Aye, just rub em on a coarse brick wall
