It sounds more like a sticky caliper if the pads are new. Either that or the pads have not been bedded in properly. There is a bedding in write up somewhere on one of the big brake pad manufacturers - Pagid maybe?
If it is deposits I think an abrasive pad will sort them out on a bedding in procedure. If a sticky caliper you will need to refurbish them or buy a new one. I am not sure if you can just buy one side as opposed to a pair but refurbisment is probably the cheaper option. Let us know how you get on. Good luck.

similar to the M3 AP's they only have a piston seal, no dust seal, that is the problem as the dust seal keeps the shite out for general road use remove the caliper from the car i used plastic G clamps to hold all the pistons bar 1 in, then used a bicycle floor pump to pump air through the caliper and pop out the single piston thoroughly clean the piston, check for wear, then pop the seal out and replace it small amount of grease on the piston and pop it back in repeat process for rest of the caliper easy enough DIY if you have the patience and the pistons aren't seized, just sticky |
