So im working on a friends bike for her
and i was not paying attention to where the cable lube was dripping and i got some on the front wheel's brake track ceramic no doubt...
now the brake howls really bad
whats the best way to remove the squeal with out comprising power by toeing in the pads?

trust me, toeing the pads ain't going to help here.

1. Clean rim with rubbing alcohol.
2. File down brake pads.
