And actually you shave them off in increments of .001 of a inch. 2 mm is way too much.

Just break them in right and you should be good, rotor 'glaze' is actually a very severe form of brake fade. Happens when you don't break them in correctly and you jam on the brakes to a complete stop or something extreme, the heat actually causes the resin to break down then reform (to a hard slick surface) and this doesn't grip well, thus brake fade will happen more.

This usually occurs when you don't bed in the rotors/pads...

i meant, will having turned rotors, or improperly turned rotors increase the chances of glazed rotors. :thinking:
im just trying to find out why my rotors glazed in the first place.
