I've been trying to diagnose what is causing the brake squealing (pad are new & noise didn't stop). While spraying the tires at the car wash (Tire Cleaner setting / very low pressure) that quite a bit of steam was produced (from the brakes) when the water hit both front wheels. This was after spending 15-20 minutes cleaning the convertible top.

What could be causing the brakes to get so hot? Could that problem be the cause of the annoying brake squeal?
