100%

Ive been doing the bedding process on all my new cars for quite some time and it actually works well.

Right from delivery find some open safe space and run that car up and down with heavy braking- do this many times to deglaze the rotors. I probably run the car up to 100 plus and down to single digit speeds and back up maybe 6 to 10 times.

The squeaks come from owners who coast brake alot and creating that glaze (this is what a few techs told me) and the bedding process helps remove the glazing.

Now I did move to IS1500 pads but only to run away from the dust.
