Those bolts will always be dirty, no matter how new they are. The only time you need to do this is if you are having "seizing" problems already. And even then, you will not notice any "seizing" until the brake pads wear out, and and you will see that the pads have worn unevenly. That is the only symptom of the slide pins.

Nope.

This is not needed and not dangerous to any car owners. Brakes do not need maintenance, and will last the life of the brake pads.
