Default Rear Brakes sqeak

I have a 01 softail duece and i started having problems with my rear brakes making a horrible sqeak sound when i was nearing a stop doesn't do it all the time but seems more like it does it after rotor gets hot. I changed my old pads and still did it so i had the rotor changed and still continued so make another pad change but sound is quiter but still get a sqeak from it. Ive changed the pad pins and have done about everything i can think of other than having the caliper looked at. Anyone ever run into this kind of problem?

What pads?
Did you use huge amounts of Brake Kleen and a brush to clean the pistons?

Lyndall Z+ pads (I am not a fan of the gold pads)

No i did not use a brush to clean pistons but i will try that when i check the wear on my pads. I decided to let it go for a few days with the new rotor and pads to see what the wear looks like on them. Thanks for the tip.
