    My back disc brake squeaks when i take it out in the morning but it goes once there warmed up, i think there is oil on them

    so i took out the pads and soaked them in nail polish remover and i also soaked rotor in polish remover, i then lit them and burnt of oil. put it back all back together and it was perfect. untill the next morning and they were the same.

    Why is this happening?

    i tried going to a chemist to get pure alcohol but they dont have any, i tried 3 chemists. Where can i get put alcohol?

    Thanks.

    You can buy meths in hardware shops: It comes in larger amounts and typically costs less too.

    You should be able to get surgical spirits in any Pharmacy.
    I use it all the time to clean my disc rotors
