Default new brakes new problem

i need so help with you guys
Last saturday i've put new rotora slotted and drilled brake disc and ebc red stuff brake pads.
Yesterday i mean after one day of driving they started to squeak
I read in instruction of the disc that befor instaling them i should clean the oil based protectant but i was so excited that i just forgot.
Everything is great i can feel a difference in braking power but the sound is killing me ...
Do you think that i it really could be because of the protectant or maybe i did somethink wrong or the ebc pads just are like that ( it means that i will change them FAST )) !!

nope, normal, high performance pads and rotors tend to lead to squeaking.

also, make sure you do the bed in process. ten 60 mph to 0 mph stops in a row.

well, in general, the trade off for more aggressive brakes are more brake noises (squeaking) and brake dust. and make sure to bed them in properly or else you'll end up with vibrations in the brake pedals when you use the brakes at high speeds around 60 mph.
