Parking Brake (?) Slight Pulse After Wheel Cleaining

I did a thorough cleaning of my wheels and undercarriage last night to remove salt, sand and other mess after a month of various off-road activities.

I used Maguiars Tire/Wheel cleaner, spray on, soak.

Power washer with Simple Green.

Power wash rinse with water.

This morning I have what feels like a slight grab in the parking break, like a pulse. I pumped the parking brake a few times, then accelerated, and it was gone. I coasted in neutral; seems fine. I didn't put the parking brake on because my wife is using the car today and I told her not to use it until I can check things out.

Is there something I need to grease/lube after a good cleaning? I have used my parking brake everyday for 3+ years with no issues.

Thoughts and help much appreciated.

Pete

I couldn't replicate the issue tonight after repeated attempts. I'll give it another day, otherwise, case closed.
