its probably just your brake pads you need to change, not your rotors. your car is still new. how many miles are on it?

Porterfield pads stopped the squealing in my car. Mine was really bad and now it's dead quiet when braking. Performance is much the same. Dust is reduced which is another benefit.

For a 2014 you would have to be doing a lot of heavy braking and miles for the pads to squeak from too much wear. My 2012 has 22K miles and rotors/pads still have yet to be replaced. You probably just have dust accumulated inside causing the squeak. Do a thorough deep rim/tire cleaning and it'll most likely stop for a month or so until the dust builds back up.

The simplest and easiest first step is to find an empty road and do some hard full brake stops from 50-5 and then coast a little to let the brakes cool down. If you take the car to the dealership this is probably what they'll do first anyway.

Unless you have a ton of miles on the car I can't imagine a 2014 has worn out brake pads already.

I tried the hard brake stops, had the discs cleaned and they were all temporary measures. There was still life in the pads and the discs. I put up with it and wore the pads down. Once the pads wore down, I replaced them with the Porterfields and it seemed to have done the trick. No more squealing whatsoever.

I even had the dealership say to me that the squealing is normal for a C63 and to live with it.

This is absolutely the most quirky and high maintenance car I've ever owned. Honestly, I think MB got it totally wrong with the C63; the car's not a lambo, yet requires lambo-esque treatment and attention. I enjoy my car, but come on, it's a C CLASS.
