Squeaking brakes

Anyone else have this problem with the C63 AMG?

I've booked it in for this Friday at my local dealership but I don't really want them taking the brakes apart if there's a simple solution.

I've read on other posts that it could be because the calipers are dusty. I do notice that the squealing stops when I have it cleaned but it starts again a day or so after.

Is it just something simple as dirty brakes?

Common issue. Mine squealed badly for the first few thousand kms. Now they are silent. You may want to try bedding in the pads.

I had a bad squeaking brake problem, it was just from the brake pads glazing the disks up from braking too softly.

When I picked up my car from Rob @ Vivid, he had just installed new brake pads and instructed that I brake 60-0 in rapid succession six to ten times to sort of temper the brake pads.

Is this the issue? I'm assuming it is because you're a brand new member and your car looks to be brand new as well.

This.

If your brakes are squealing, you're not driving (well, braking) hard enough.
