CRC Disc Brake Quiet - 4 Fl Oz. (05016)

I bought this bottle to ensure that the brakes on my car would not squeak or rattle after replacing pads and rotors.Its cheap and easy to apply, and the CRC products I've used before seem to be high-quality at a reasonable price.In order to use the product, you should be wearing disposable gloves. The stuff is bright red, its messy, and it sticks to everything.All you have to do is apply a liberal amount to the back side (the part that is NOT touching the brake disc) of all of your brake pads before you install them, then put them in as usual, and put everything back together.If you still get squeaking after putting these in, you either missed one, or there is something else wrong with your brake system. However, sometimes the brakes make some noises when they are getting "broken in." So just because you hear something doesn't mean there is absolutely something wrong. As long as the brakes are pulling hard, and stopping safely, give it a few days of driving for the new pads to seat on the rotors before troubleshooting any noises for new brake pads.Only reason I am not giving this product 4-5 stars, is the packaging did not stand up to shipping. When I opened the box, the little red cap had come off, and about 1/3 of the bottle had squeezed out, all over the other items in the box. It was a big mess, and as mentioned previously, this stuff is almost impossible to completely get off once it sticks. Luckily it was just plastic and cardboard packaging that was ruined, but it could have been worse. Not to mention I lost 1/3 of the volume from the bottle. So that is at least one less bake job I can do before I need to order more.I'm not sure if its CRC not sealing the bottle well enough, or if Amazon being careless in the shipping, but somehow the combination of this bottle being shipped loosely in a cardboard box ended badly for me. Your experience may vary.If possible, try to buy this product in individually-wrapped packets, instead of a bulk bottle like this. That would avoid the problem I ran into.

Used this for YEARS when me and my dad had a shop. Does what it’s supposed to do. Make sure you apply where the pad makes contact with the caliper. I usually just put it all over the backing plate tho. Never fails. In fact I’ve even used this for other diy projects in the garage that needed a rubbery silicon material.

I had a horrible squealing when coming to a stop and this fixed it. there is still a small squeal but it's definitely improved. I like the performance of my Hawks LTS pads so I'll deal with the squealing. For the price it's definitely worth a try.

Did its job well, but I think I used too much and took away some braking power. First time user error.

I used the CRC Disc Brake Quiet - 4 Fl Oz on both of our vehicles' brakes last month, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the results. Our factory brakes always squeaked when lightly applied, which was quite annoying. However, after using this product, the squeaks are completely gone!Application was straightforward, and the results were immediate. Both vehicles are now quiet, even during gentle braking. I couldn't be happier with how well this product worked. If you're dealing with squeaky brakes, I highly recommend giving CRC Disc Brake Quiet a try. It truly delivers!

Great Product.

Bitter aftertaste and made me very gassy

There are many, many ways that brakes can make noise. CRC Disc Brake Quiet can help prevent one of them. One of the many ways is if the backs of the pads vibrate against the caliper piston. I use this is a prevention for that particular noise when I install new brakes.I few myths I must dispel:- This is not a substitute for not using the shims. If your brakes come with shims, use them.- If you do not let this dry before install, you might as not well use it at all. Save your money.Here is the best hint I can give you: When you set out to do your brake job, the very first thing you should do is put this on the backs your new pads BEFORE you start taking the old brakes apart. That way they will have plenty of time to dry before you actually need install the new pads. Don't wait until you pick up the pads to put them in to put this on. If I do this at the beginning of the job, by the time I get to installing the new pads, the CRC Disc Brake Quiet is nice and tacky.
