Glazing on disc brakes occurs when the brake pads or rotors overheat, leading to a hard, shiny surface that reduces friction. This can result in diminished braking performance, increased stopping distances, and a risk of brake fade. Glazed pads may produce a squeaking or squealing noise and can often be identified by their shiny appearance. To remedy glazing, the affected components may need to be replaced or resurfaced.
Could be a couple of different possibilities. If u have disc brakes it could be wear tabs letting you know brake pads need to be replaced or there is a light glazing or brake dust on shoe or pad

THOSE ARE DISC BRAKES
Wagonners, pickups, and the Jeepster had disc brakes in 1972. The CJ did not get disc brakes until 1977.
To effectively break in disc brakes on your bike, start by riding at a moderate speed and applying the brakes gently for short intervals. Repeat this process several times to allow the brake pads to wear in and create a smooth braking surface on the rotor. Avoid sudden stops or prolonged braking during the break-in period to prevent overheating and glazing of the brake pads.
The different types of disc brakes available for bikes are mechanical disc brakes and hydraulic disc brakes. Mechanical disc brakes use a cable to actuate the brake caliper, while hydraulic disc brakes use fluid to transfer force from the brake lever to the caliper. Both types offer improved braking performance compared to traditional rim brakes.
pad brakes are disc brakes, it's known as changing brake pads for disc setup and changing brake shoes with drum brake setup.
On a Ford Explorer : There are disc brakes on the front and ( starting with the 1995 model year ) there are disc brakes on the rear also ( instead of drum brakes on the rear )

Four-wheel disc brakes were introduced in 1965 on the Corvette. Some AMC vehicles had Disc Brakes, and the Studebaker Avanti also had Disc Brakes. I know of no other American vehicles in 1965 with disc brakes. FYI, the 1948 Tucker had Disc Brakes as standard equipment. Only 51 examples were ever made.
The main types of bike brake calipers are rim brakes and disc brakes. Rim brakes include caliper brakes and cantilever brakes, while disc brakes include mechanical disc brakes and hydraulic disc brakes. Each type has its own advantages and considerations for performance and maintenance.
Depends on what you mean by best. Disc brakes tend to offer the most braking power for a given amount of force applied at the lever. But a disc brake setup is heavier and has poorer aerodynamics than caliper brakes. And disc brakes wear faster than drum brakes, roller brakes and band brakes. Disc brakes are not as well sealed as drums or rollers, so performance will still be slightly weather dependent.
