Squeaks are cause due to break dust and other debris that builds up and that should take care of it.

Squeaks are caused by Rapid vibrations ( harmonics ) generated when your pad touches the rotor an happens at the metal parts where the pad touches the caliper and or brake piston.
Spray will not cure this unless you remove the pad.
This is why MB uses coated shim between these pieces. But you have to make sure that you use brake squeal gel on all parts otherwise they are going to squeal.. Benz cars are notorious for this...
If your rotors are worn, then you are wasting your time because they will somehow manage to start squealing again after a while...

this may be true and may work for you but in general,
