Dont use grease on the bolts and the brake pads. It will only attract dirt by using grease.
The only grease needed is on the caliper slider.

Greasing the back of the pads is old-school and dated from the time the pistons could get rusty.
Nowadays the used alloy will not rust so grease is not to be advised.

Fair point, but one of the main reasons was to avoid squealing pads - this old habit dies hard
