Sounds like a good product.

If you spray the discs and inside the drums with WD40 too you'll also avoid any surface corrosion. Rolling Eyes Laughing

Very Happy

..also if they say something like this:

"Where damping lacquer coatings or damping shims
are fitted metal free anti-squeal lubricant is not required.
Only use the metal free anti-squeal lubricant (Mintex CERA TEC®)
in the area of contact of the pad on the guide shafts.
Lubrication is only vital in the area of the contact points
of the pad and on the guide shafts. "

(bur probably you are right, it is still a useless product,
I think putting grease on this contact point will avoid squeal
for about 3 kms, the main problem is the pads material and
the presence or not of damping shims?)

Ps..have you to degrease brake pads and disks surface
or simply some use will wash them for you?
