Sure it's "new" government surplus, but the government got rid of it for a

That stuff is harder than HELL to find, and doesn't seem to be sold in the
US!
Guess I'll stick to my off the rack AutoZone brake grease!

I tried and failed to take descriptive photos of my rear discs, whose
friction surfaces resemble the dark gray coating worn by a rifle barrel.
The fronts had patchy glaze, where the outline of the pads was imprinted
over and over again in an irregular pattern around the disc, some lighter,
some heavier.
I had some serious front brake vibration. A check with a dial gauge showed
the discs to be dead true, and yet I had a high-speed vibration. The only
conclusion I can come to at this point (surely to be opposed by some
others...) is that the glaze caused sufficient frictional differences as to
cause steering wheel wobble ("vibration").
