    Sticky brake after car wash.......

    Does this happen to you guys too?
    Everytime when I wash my car and I let it sit overnight in my garage. The very next morning when I take my car out, the car's brake would stick to its rotors like crazy....this only happens if I don't my car immediately after the wash and let it sit overnight.

    It doesn't happen if I drive it for like 15mins immediately after the car wash.

    Weird eh? Btw, my car is a '06 C4S

    yes, this happens on all modern cars with disc brakes.
    just do some light braking after washing.

    It's the tiny bit of rust that has accumulated which makes it stick. Just brake a couple times after you wash, if the disks look smooth and shiney than it's all good
