   my brakes squeak every time now, my pads are fairly new, i think i may just have alot of brake dust and the wheels are always caked of the stuff. If i just spray the fook out of everything with brake cleaner will that do the trick and get rid of the brake dust?
   is ther anything i shouldnt spray in the brakes dept.? and also will it remove my caliper paint? thanks

   it will remove all the crap off the discs so should stop it from squeaking if thats whats causing it to squeak, and brake cleaner wont remove the caliper paint.

   Tried putting copper grease on back of the pad?, normally solves it. Did you fit the pads?
