I found myself thinking about this on this mornings little errand running ride.
It's quite easy to hold the speed when approaching a big wide junction and then give a nice long firm brake application with plenty of time to ease the brake off before coasting to the line. I think constant firm pressure for as long as possible is the key?
I have also got into the habit, after a wash, (of the bike!) of getting it up on the stands, (sometimes I wash it on the stands.) and finishing with a wodge of rag soaked in clutch and brake cleaner run all the way round each face of each disc.
This removes any wax residue in the wax 'n' wash stuff I use, but more importantly should also remove any residual moisture, as the C&B cleaner is hygroscopic and will eat the water.
It also leaves the discs nice and clean for the next application, so the pads are biting clean metal and not dust, wax or resin deposits. I'm convinced it's keeping my discs in very good order.
