Default Brake Squeal/Cleaning

I am going to try some CRC Disc Brake Quiet this weekend.

Got a few questions for those that have done this.

What is the best way to clean the brakes before hand?
Should I just use a wire brush on the back side and edges of the pad?
Then just add the Disc quiet goo and let it dry? How much should I use?

Are you sure the brake noise is from pad vibration and not from poorly seated pads? I would try the seating procedure first, before doing all the work on the pads. If you use Brake Quiet, I have had good luck using a small gob, about the size of an almond. Spread it out and insert pad, following any directions that may have come with it. It doesn't take much.

YES 100%. It is only the rear tires. I have already done the bedding process and have several track days on the pads and yet the squeaking still presist. I am installing side skirts and lowering the factory bolts so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try the brake quiet when I have it on jacks.

Thanks for the advice.
