quick DIY way to get rid of squeaking from your brakes

me and my mechanic friend were talking one day and i told him about my squeaking brakes, then he told me a quick way to fix it

1. find a empty parking lot
2. turn off traction control (optional but i did)
3. set the car on Reverse
4. left foot on the brake, right on the gas pedal.
5. floor both pedels with the car up to 10-15mph
6. do it until you don't hear any squeaking noise from your brake again!


This idea sound stupid i know i might get flame here but it actually works for me just some thoughts to share

This usually happens to me when my rotors are dirty. The holes get clogged with dirt, I use a tooth pick to poke the clogged holes and then rinse away and that usually helps.
