Anyway, the squeal has disappeared!!!
LOL You could have told him that it's the mating ritual of the Crossfire.
Bedding the brakes really works but I don't think you need to go to the extreme of 120mph and then slam on the brakes. You don't want to lock up the wheels. First warm the brakes with a few firm stops from about 40mph, then do a few firm strong stops from 60-80mph. That should do it. Also it should be done when after the last stop, you can continue for several miles without stopping, to cool the brakes and not stay stopped with the pads touching the rotors.
