Brake glazing

**Brake glazing** refers to a condition where the brake pads develop a smooth, shiny surface due to excessive heat buildup. This glazing reduces the friction between the brake pads and the rotors, leading to decreased braking performance and longer stopping distances. Common causes of brake glazing include aggressive braking, riding the brakes, or using the wrong type of brake pads for your vehicle. Addressing brake glazing often involves resurfacing or replacing the brake pads and ensuring proper braking techniques to prevent recurrence.
