Default Soft pedal fix

Just some info on a recent brake bleed experience. I was prepping the car for the track which includes replacing stock pads with pagid yellows and tires with R888s. For the first time in my one year ownership I was going to bleed the brakes. Dealer flushed stock with Castrol SRF in Mar 11. Did each caller starting outside and back right. After bleeding I cleaned up and found pedal very soft after starting up car. Needless to say I was very angry as I have bled many calipers.
I drove around a while with no improvement. After returning home I left the car running and "air" bled the outside caliper screws with the wheels on while pumping the pedal a few time. Air bled meaning with Motive bleeder without fluid. Problem solved....
