Washed my car, now brakes are soft

^I had some 'groan/creek' sounds but when I did that, but that was at very very low speeds only.

Didn't hear any weird noises at normal speeds..

It shouldn't take long for that to go away.....if it persists after a few minutes/stops, then it could something more serious.

My car does that everytime I wash it. Then I just drive for a bit and heat up the brakes and it goes away

Heat up the brakes to burn off any residual grease or cleaners...

If braking performance is still lacking and the pedal doesn't drop to the floor, you've probably got a contaminated pad/rotor issues. If so, heat up the brakes and repeat!

Yea, heat em up. I've gotten my rotors DOUSED is tire shine before. Wasn't me. After it all burned off, all was well.

Yup =) seems like everyone was right haha

Drove it for a day and it feels like its back to normal...

Totalimmortal, how did you drive until it was all gone lol =p
