I am talking about zinc WASHING not PLATEING there is a big difference.
Even eastwood makes a product called oxysolve that you can use to zinc wash then wipe some solvent on the pad contact area.

This is true today but in a year most dealers will have the stuff in stock. Also the price is right for making repairs. And I don't care if it's GM stuff or Aftermarket that is WAY to HIGH it's all fails after a while.
