Hi All,
I have a 2016 CX5-GT AWD (32,000 miles) and on a 10 day trip to the Texas Coast ( Yes we have one ;-) ) when we returned home my brakes started kind pulsing when I come to a stop. I tried to clean them with some hard stops, but nothing seemed to help. I finally took it to my Mechanic and said that the Front Rotor's were Glazed, he'd not seen that look before, and the Pads (original) still had a lot of meat left on them and were clean, nothing embedded in them. Anyway he resurfaced the Front Rotor's and put new pads on, hes said the back ones were still thick and no need.
After he resurfaced it they were back to normal.
My questions is, would or does salt spray from the Coastal Waters and Winds cause a build up on the rotors? We're going back down there soon and I was wondering if trying to keep them washed off might help prevent this from happening again. I just don't want to be replacing rotor's anytime soon.
Appreciate any thoughts or ideas? Take Care. Be Safe.
Craig
