About a little over a month ago I installed some new brake pads, and ended up buying new rotors recently and just put them on. As soon as i put them on I bedded them and did 5 "45 to 10" and 5 "35 to 5" and everything seemed fine, but now a week later I've noticed at low speeds it squeals, especially in the mornings its LOUD until i get rolling then it stops for a while and may come back.

I admit this is my first time bedding my own brakes, is there a chance I didn't do them correctly and thats why I am getting the loud squeal?

Put some anti squeal grease on the back side of the pads.

From when I was watching the guy install them, he never sprayed brake cleaner on them...could that be an issue? Sorry, still learning lol.

It's copper grease you need a thin smear on the backing plate on the pads.

Lol well, i took it somewhere and he said I just haven't broken the brakes in fully yet, so I found a service road and began to break them in again. Seemed to do the trick but the squeal slowly came back.
