The regular maintenance of brake pads includes the cleaning process to remove the excess brake dust accumulated on them for smooth operation. To clean your brake pads regularly, you can follow these simple steps: Park your vehicle in the parking area by setting up the parking brake. After it, loosen up the lug nuts slightly and use a jack to lift the car. Remove the brake calipers in contact with the bolts using the wire and hang it out of the way without stretching much. Now open the brake fluid reservoir through its hood and clean the friction area of the brake disc & brake rotor with a clean rag. If there is some dirt that cannot be wiped with a rag, you can use a brush to wipe it off from the braking system for smooth operation.
