Sometimes the brake lining gets a shine and doesn't work as well. This is called glazed linings.
If it is too bad, the brake pedal is hard to push.
Sandpaper the lining and turn or rough up your rotors so it doesn't happen again.

Glazing happens when the resins from the pad material rise to the surface of the pad. This generally happens when the brakes get hot for long periods of time or during break in periods. When the glazing happens it can impregnate the resins into the rotors and polish the surface. This causes vibration and loud squealing. You can de-glaze the pad with light grit sandpaper and I would suggest a light machine (turning) of the rotors.

A glazed lining is usually referring to brake shoes. A glazed shoe will look shiny. It is caused by brake dust filling in the porous material of the brake shoe. With disk brakes the dust has no place to accumulate, whereas a brake drum act as a container, trapping the dust.

IF YOU MEAN A BRAKE LINING THAT'S GLAZED OVER IT'S WHEN YOUR BRAKE LININGS (PADS) ARE WORN SMOOTH. BRAKES USUALLY SQUEAL AND DON'T HAVE QUITE AS MUCH BITE.
