[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 970156, member: 61136"] Rich, This hone is run in forward and reverse. It takes all the glaze off in a cross hatch patern. Any fine grooves IMO are tribal. The pads will wear into those in 100 miles, and wont affect the life of the pads or braking qaulity. New pads on new rotors will make there own fine grooves in 100 miles anyway. If it did I would have never used it on my performance cars. I do this with the rotors on the car front and backside calipers removed. Deep grooves or gouging from running metal on metal, no good. Warped rotors, no good. Deep glazing from over heating the rotors no good. Chances are the over heating has caused hairline cracks or will in the future. I know I sound like a broken record, but. When the rotor inspects good. I stand by this hone. I have read articles in PM. They said if the rotors inpect good, do nonthing. I will hone them. [/QUOTE]
