Default CRC Disc Brake Quiet vs. Permatex Disc Brake Quiet vs. CRC De-Squeak

CRC DBQ: http://www.autobarn.net/ch05016.html
- this one looks like putty

CRC De-Squeak: http://www.crcind.com.au/catalogue.nsf/web_brands/De-Squeak?openDocument
- aerosol

Permatex DBQ: http://www.permatex.com/products/automotive/specialized_maintenance_repair/brake_maintenance_repair/auto_Permatex_Disc_Brake_Quiet.htm
- also aerosol


Which one is best? The putty one seems like it would do the best job, but I'm not sure.......

Also, when you change out the pads next time, is it hard to get the sprayed on/goop off?

Default I never use anything of the sort, and my brakes never squeak.

I use quality OEM pads (Textar, Pagid, Jurid, Ate, etc.) and quality "plain" rotors (Zimmerman, Brembo, Ate, etc.). Sometime I use "pre-owned" pads as long as they're a good brand.

I also hold my mouth right during installation.

Never a problem on the TT.

Default Depends a lot on driving style. I got squeaking with the OEM. The blue spray works well.

The red goop is almost impossible to clean off.

Default not really needed like OSAG says...although the brake quiet stuff is a quick fix. the spray

is messy...but the paste is easier to apply to the back of the pads in the areas that you need it the most.

i have used it in the past, but haven't recently.

Default Ouch. Is there a proper way to scrap the goop off when switching pads? There's no instructions on

the box for proper removal :X

Default I would avoid the goop. Certainly keep it away from the piston side pad.

The spray works well until a track event burns it off. You can use several coats.

Until it burns off? I thought with the spray you put it like the goop (between pad + caliper)?

Default Yes. And your brakes get really hot on a track.
