[DMCForum] Re: Brake Rotor question

["spaceboy_2912" <seanmm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Blasting will not remove warp from a rotor, turning will. You should 
not rely on brake pads to "smooth" out the rotor. What could happen 
is the pads could get filled with what ever "glaze" material there 
is on the rotor and not work properly. If I were you I would remove 
the wheels and spray the entire rotor with brake cleaner. Do this on 
all the rotors you had off.
Best of luck

glaze on them.  I didn't get them resurfaced before I put them on 
thinking that eventually the pads will smooth the rotors out.  While 
driving you can definately hear the rotors giving off a harsh 
sound.  The sound goes away when I brake.  How long do you think it 
will be before the rotors smooth out?
