brakes squeak after washing car

[Ogata]

So today I washed and waxed my car (5 hours in total) and when i went to reverse, I heard some squeaks coming from my brakes but subsided after driving for awhile. Is this normal?

[Walrus]

Normal.

[Fuman]

just rust build up on the rotors.

[kaval]

Definitely normal.

Agreed it's quite normal with the oem brakes, get used to it :) ...but also did you use any kind of rim cleaner? I'm only asking because I noticed when using a spray wheel cleaner, unless your very careful not to get any on the rotors pads etc; you'll get an ungodly sound from them the first couple of brake applications, hense I stopped using the stuff! Just soap/water and a soft brush for my wheels now! :)

I sprayed on Eshine's APC Kleenol player to remove the browning and used Eshine's Wheelwax on my rims as well as Stoner's tire shine and it DID say on the bottle to ensure it does not go near your rotors and such so I guess that would be the reason for the squeaking.

Well not necessarily! Your oem brakes may squeak just from them getting wet and sitting for a bit, (used to happen to me all the time, when I washed it!) When I mentioned about the Wheel spray cleaner the sound was much worse; Sounded like a couple of pigs in heat, with some grinding :chuckle

...I suppose if I had taken the time to lets say drape a cloth or something over the calipers and rotors everything would have been fine!
