Thank you !

No ceramic pads on Z51 pkg

I have sprayed the CRC disk brake quiet on several C6's w/ceramic pads in order to get rid of the occassional squeak. This stuff really works. You do not need to remove the wheels. Just spray the rotor surface and apply the brakes as described in the directions. The noise has not returned with over 10K miles of driving.
I did not believe that this stuff would work or last, but I tried it on one very squeaky C6 w/ceramics and the problem never came back. The hot tip is to spray both sides of the rotor and follow the break in instructions.
