A brake pad operates to both resurface the braking surface of a rotor, and then automatically continue functioning as a normal brake pad. The rotor resurfacing is accomplished on the vehicle, employing all the components of a vehicle brake assembly, creating a perfect fit of the rotor and brake pad surfaces. In one embodiment, the brake pad includes a backing plate, a first plane of frictional material on the backing plate, and a second plane of frictional material mounted over the first plane of frictional material. The second plane of frictional material includes abrasive strips, each of the strips being separated from an adjacent one of the strips by a region of the first plane of frictional material. Preferably, the second plane of frictional material removes material from a rotor, when the brake pad is in frictional engagement with the rotor. Preferred methods include removing material from the rotor to resurface the rotor by engagement of the second plane of frictional material against the rotor, and slowing rotation of the rotor to brake the motor vehicle, with the first plane of frictional material after the second plane of frictional material is degraded.
