Don't forget to clean rotor with isopropyl alcohol before braking.
If I'm having a hard time seeing the high spot, I'll listen for it, instead. I'll spin the wheel and lightly depress the brake lever until it starts zinging and locate via relative wheel position. Then you just have to guess whether to tweak in or tweak out.
