Default Braking Problem 01LX

I searched through all the brake threads and didn't find anything that quite matched my current problem. The other day after driving through a rather large and deep puddle, I noticed the braking on my car was really crappy. At first I thought I just had wet brakes, but the problem persisted. I used to hit the brakes and the car would stop real quick and you could easily lock 'em up if you braked too hard. Now I really got hit the brakes hard and much earlier than before. I bled the whole system and added new fluid thinking that might fix the problem. The Pedal is solid, so I don't think it's the MC. Has anyone else every had this experience? I didn't get ALL of the old fluid out, I'll try to flush the lines more, next weekend if I can't come up with anything else that could be causing this problem.

Sorry for the long post.

sounds like your brake pads have got to wet and then glazed over if you have plenty pad left on your brake shoe and pad you can rough them up with a wire brush and this should help, if you need to replace them (brake pads and shoes) have your drums and rotors surfaced.
