Is Muc-Off recommended to clean pads and rotors or will it damage the pads? My brakes are making an awful sound. Got new pads but gonna try clean the current ones.

    Brakes make a noise.
    Isopropyl alcohol for the rotors, new pads if they're contaminated.

    Making a squealing noise doesn't mean they need cleaning, making a graunching does.....

    Cleaning grit etc shouldn't need anything more than a hose after a ride.
