Help: Brake Pads attached to Rotors
Need some help guys. I noticed the last two times that after I wash my car, the next morning when I put the car to gear and give it gas, it seems as if the brakes are still engaged. I really need to give it a good amount of gas and realease the clutch more quickly to break the car loose. When it does break loose, there is a rather loud sound. Can someone tell me what this might be??? I'm pretty sure its water realted since it only happens after I was my car (the morning after) and if this is bad for the brakes/car. Many Thanks. Rob

This happened to me this last weekend. It actually released pretty hard I thought I backed up into something so I got out and looked around and realized it was the brakes. I don't like to drive around right after I wash because there's still detailing to do (like zaino 6) and I don't want to get dirt/dust on the car from driving around before putting it on. Any other suggestions?

This is a pretty common occurrence. Do a search, and you'll find that it has happened to just about everybody. It doesn't do any harm, but you can prevent it (or at least minimize it) by not engaging the parking brake when you wash the car. If necessary, block the wheels instead. Once all of the water is dried off, then you can reapply the parking brakes.
Or you can take your car for a ride to dry off the brakes, and rub off the rust film from the rotors, This too will prevent the rear brake pads from sticking to the rotors.
