Default wd40 on break clips

a loud noise comes from my two front tires i know it has something to do with my break clips. my friend had the same problem. he sprayed a little wd40 in between his rims about a week ago and said the sound hasnt came back. i said i wanted to that with mine too so i wouldnt have to deal with the embarassing sound. should i do this? will it mess anything up?

Don't go spraying greasy **** on your brakes.

How many miles are on the car? Are the brakes worn?

the sound will come back soon. you need to lubricate the clips with this special lubricant from Honda called Molykote M-77 or something like that. That fixed mine, silicone lube fixed it for a while but it kept coming back.

oh and i dont think the brakes are worn. not yet, at least. it just started making that sound about a week ago and the brakes were just replaced when i bought the car from a previous owner two years ago.
