I have a dumb question for you guys. I am a mechanic myself, but have never heard a good answer for my question. Whats the point of cadmium plating a brake rotor if a brake pad is just going to wear that surface out? IS plating for people who live in humid or wet environments where road salts might rust away whats not plated? I can't see it any other way. Am i wrong?
