Ceratec Brake Lubricant, Made By Pagid/mintex

Been having an awful problem with brake squeal with my brake setup (307 Hdi w/ mintex 1144's), I copper greased them and it got considerably worse!

 

I mentioned this on the GTI6 forum and a bloke recommended Ceratec, this is produced by Mintex/Pagid and reportedly stops brake squeal.

I've bought some and applied it but unfortunately the car is not on road so can't test it out.

 

Just seeing if anybody has used it and achieved successful results?

 

Don't wanna put my hopes up and the b*stard still squeals like a piggy in a blender.

It was probably me, but yes, bloody good stuff.

 

Although I have that exact same setup and mine used to squeal like a bitch too, silent now though

doesn't work on 406 Brembo's when used on a 306, but that's a different matter really

It weren't you PhillipM

Good to hear you had good results

 

Bloody embrassing driving through town with a pig jammed under the car when braking

Ah, scib then?

 

It quietened mine down a bit when I used it - got rid of perhaps 70% of the volume - that was with Mintex's backing shims too.

 

Wavy discs + no backing pads + no ceratec = silent

Yep Scib indeed

 

Is that another alter ego or yours

[Rippthrough 98]

Nah, I find just one great big ego works fine

 

I might have some spare backing shims you can have if the ceratec doesn't shut it up completely.

Yes please PM'd

This made a difference for a good few hundred miles of driving, might need a bit more applying as it's squealing a little again

I'll hunt those shims out for you as soon as I get chance
