Change brake pads, rotor need to skim. Reason for skimming is because at times you will notice that the rotors has some grooves in it shallow one or deep one that is due to debris stuck between the rotors and the pads. The naked eye see is even but it's actually not. That's why after you change a pad without a skim disc you will notice the rotors some area got contact some area don't have. It's very visible if you wash the car and the rotor got slight rust on it and you go drive around and see some area the rust gone and some still there. For me I only practice skimming the same disc twice only. Then change the rotors.

looks nice 
i wanted to make yellow tint on my fog lamp too actually.
u tinted it yourself??

so fast tint... berapa u tint?

OMGOSH, can only skim twice only ar? my fish stock dish for 10 years been skim for 4x... 

Bought a small roll of tint film from Kedai Abang for RM6, then DIY 

End up a bit cacat, from not too noticable lar 
Not 8x? 

TitanRev just want to confirm.
You are using OBD2 wifi reader + DashCommand and it's running fine on Ipon ?

I'm running the Dash Command on andriod..Iphone one need to buy geh...
Your rotor there got state min thickness one. IF you skim over the min thickness rotor might crack. 1st hand experience in my uncle's Sentra. He skimmed the disc 5 times already....1 time during driving and emergency brake the disc shattered and very loud sound. 3 wheel bolt patah and really scare the shit out of me...crawl to the side and see what happen. driver side rotor hilang...

Arr. after changed to bendix metal king brake pad. Its giving me scratching rotor sound on my left side. The longer period i use the higher scratching sound.

bendix metal king isn't that good either on genting roads, especially downhill... fade out quite fast when reaching its temperature threshold.

my collegue husband use it on genting road its a mit lancer while stoping gotong jaya, there are sum smoke coming frm the brake area... 

try Rapid Stop brake pad 500C...is already sufficient for daily usage and aggresive braking 

not sure about BMK, but i used rapid stop 500c pads, down hill smoked like hell and fade until no more brakes, had to stop at the side of karak letting the car slowly roll till a flat terrain and stop to cool down the pads. the smoke was even blurring my wind screen.

and with the wear it did to my rotor, insane brake dust.

never again. lol.

oic, tht day went o kedai abang also, but didnt have pure yellow wan... all i find is got kotak kotak reflective wan.... so lucky u able to find it... got extra give me please. TQ 

nice nice... how bout the colour output during night time?

Imma gonna keep the extra for other cars at home 

You mau I can help you buy, my place near the Balakong branch.
Just done today....not yet night time 

your bendix metal king RM114?   

reapers,

This is not due to skimming too much but if skim too many time similar will also happen. The below is due to uneven thermal expansion. Same theory if material too thin and cannot take in more heat it will start to crack due to expansion.
