After my attempt, squeal seemed to get better for a few minutes but then came back as bad as before. Maybe I just need a couple more good stops, I'll try the moderate from 40 to 5mph.
You didn't mess things up. If you went to 60, hit them hard down to 5mph and did it again 2 more times you should have started to smell the pads. You did it right, it wouldn't be the reason for low speed squealing. You just need to use the right lube and put enough on. You'll see once you figure this out you be an expert at it, I know I had to learn the hard way too.
