Default Best product for anti squeal lube?

What are you guys using to lube your brake pad anti squeal plates? Tried searching, but the answer is likely buried in page-deep brake threads and hoping it is easier to go this route. I see Brembo launched something called B Quiet, however, doesn’t appear to be available online anywhere. Other suggestions?

I use the Permatex copper. Put a good coat across the whole back of the shim where it mates to the pad.
Permatex 09128 Copper Anti-Seize Lubricant, 8 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HBM8HU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_uSk2Ab23YQANG

I did a couple brake bed-in and fixed my horrible squealing. Hasn't heard a peep in the last couple weeks. The front brakes are about a couple years old, by the way.

Thanks everyone. I’m not having any squealing, just wanted to know what people were using for an upcoming DIY brake pad swap. I finally got a replacement set of Project Mu Type NS pads to see if that stops the clunking from the Ns400s that I have on now.

I've tried several brands...even the OEM brembo grease that cost a stupid amount for a small tube. All of them seem to work the same. Now I just use permatex.

The clunking is a physical size (of the pad) problem. It is unlikely the lube will do anything for that. The lube is typically for vibration that results in squeal.

^^^Yep. I’m just asking what lube people are using as a general question, not trying to fix the clunking. We’ll see if the replacement pads fix that.
