Ford Explorer: De-glaze your brakes?

This is one I have not heard of, so I thought I'd ask your opinion.

I've been experiencing a problem with my brakes. The best way I can describe it
is this: When approaching a stop, and coming to a *complete* stop, just about 4
or 5 feet of coming to a complete stop, the vehicle suddenly slides forwards.
It's as if you hit a patch of ice on all wheels and slide forward about a foot,
then hitting the pavement again and getting a grip on the road. This ONLY
happens in the morning on my way to work, and it only happens the first 2, maybe
3 stops I make.

After an extensive list of things I wanted the dealer to check out and fix (and
it's been there now for 1 week, 1 day), I was informed yesterday that they found
a "glaze" on the brake disc's, and so they applied a de-glazer to remove it. He
said that could be causing my problem. Although, another dealership that I
asked about the problem while having an oil change done, said it could be a
problem with the ABS (and yes, I've had my rear wheel speed sensor replaced two
times in under a year because my ABS light was flashing). My local dealership,
where I purchased the vehicle from, never mentioned ABS. I had to ask, and he
flat out said no, it wouldn't cause it. So.... I may be visiting the "other"
dealership sometime soon.......

After the life story :-) can someone tell me what the "glaze" is that was
apparently on my brake disc's? How did it get there, and is this something
normal? Can I "de-glaze" it myself in the future?

Thanks!

Tim

Indeed.... many unsatisfactory repairs are more the result of poor
communication than any other attribute....If the service advisor or tech
cannot reproduce the problem, what are they going to fix?
