My Hyundai Verna 1.5 turbo petrol: Getting its brake pads cleaned

I have to beware while getting the car washed so that water is not directly sprayed over the brake discs.

BHPian MyLife_MyCar recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Took the car last week to the service center. As the car was driven for about 1.5hrs (thanks to the traffic), there was no squealing noise coming from any of the wheels when the SA test drove the car.

However, he suspected that during a wash, water entered the discs/brake pads and got mixed with the dust/dirt, causing that noise.

Anyway, he got the brake pads cleaned up (rubbed with sandpaper). The noise is gone as of now. Have to take care during the washings that water shouldn’t be directly sprayed over the discs.
