I'm with Randall on this one. Breaking the glaze with crocus cloth will
take care of the glazing problem (which I am not sure is a problem, anyway).
I suspect that overheating the rear brakes on the sidescreen TRs is not a
major problem - the front discs do most of the work, unless you are driving
at the limit all the time.
