| Sintered pads are less succeptible to 'glazing', but this can occur if you consistently brake very lightly. You can usually overcome this by going out and giving the brake some serious work to do. If glazing was the problem, then your brake should be back to normal after a good run.
I use detergent for cleaning, but no wax additives - I have never had a problem other than occasionally a small drop in performance resulting from a bit of overspray of WD40 - this is soon cleared though.
If you have checked everything else, I would go for a new set of OEM spec pads. If this does not fix it, then you still have the old ones to put back in whilst you are looking for other causes.
Can you post a picture of the pads/discs?
Cheers, Chris. |
