Default self cutting brake pads for the rotors.90LS

I have been having the common problems with the rotors and these cheap auto zone hardened brake pads.I now want to do most things on my car myself.
A couple of months or years ago there was a TV ad for shimmys or metal plates that you can put in between your new pads and rotors(actually attach to brake pads) to cut or resurface your rotors.This metal plate was gauranteed to dispose off after the rotors have been automatically resurfaced.Do you guys know where I can get this?

A - AutoZone has always sold cheap parts - always will. Try Napa.

B - Why not remove them and have them turned for the $10 each? Why complicate it?

i can get them done for free, the joys of knowing someone at Firestone...

and pads, stick with OEM Toyota/Sumitomo ones. Why mess with success?
