I like this appraoch best. I have held the front level in as far as possible for several seconds a number of times to reduce the lever travel, this seems to help all of the time. I think I well try and clean the pistons in about 10,000 miles or whenever the lever gets soft again.
I have always been afraid of putting any kind of liquid on the pads themselves or the rotor.

>In doing a web search on glazing of pads and rotors, several sites mentioned aerosol brake cleaners as being a source of glazing. I have always had rock hard brakes after the piston exercise BUT I never put anything on the pad itself. I shot the crap out of the piston and caliper around the pad but again never on the pad. Another thing I ran across was using a 3M abrasive pad on the rotor to take off glaze. I'm talking about the kind that look like some kind of knurly plastic, not like an emory wheel.
