brakes squeal

About a week ago after washing my car and went for a drive I heard my brakes squeal but I didn’t think of anything as I thought it might just be some water stuck in the brakes but now a week after when I applied the brakes softly and it only happens at a very slow speed I’m talking about 5km/h and below I hear is there any way to fix this without getting new brake pad and brakes disc

Re-bed your brakes. A few firm 100 to 30 kph brake runs should do the trick. Assuming your pads and rotors have life of course.

The issue you're encountering is quite common with stock pads and will keep happening.

I recommend upgrading to EBC Redstuff or Yellowstuff pads. On top of that, they will significantly improve the stopping power of your car, enhancing your overall driving experience.

Squeaking during low speed is actually considered "normal" as the brake pads are semi-metallic. If you don't want any brake squeal, upgrade to Akebono Ceramics.

Yes, they have brake sensors. In order to reduce brake dust, you need to swap pads and the Akebono is the best low dust option on our car IMO. You do lose some initial bite.

And no, I am not sponsored by Akenono nor do I work for them.
