Polo Twist 2004 1.4 squeak - mahut25

I have had the above car in the VW garage 3 times and they have finally decided that a squeak in the axle areas when moving is caused by the brakes needing deglazing (?) - not sure that is the right term. They said it could be because I brake too softly (!). They are asking £220 to do this which seems exorbitant and more like the cost of replacing them altogether. Anyone have any experience of this problem or comments on the cost ? Apparently this problem is not included in the warranty. The car is about 18 months old.

front or back of car.deglazing is when pads or shoes are used heavily causing a glaze on surface of both,wont account for price, but have they actually investigated, or this price springs to mind to charge.
