I hope you all know that taking a high pressure nozzle sprayer on the front of your hose and thoroughly blasting your rotors and pads when you wash the car will stop a LOT of the squealing.

Dust buildup is the cause much of the time. Hard braking will remove it, braking after gunning it in reverse will help a little too, but a water blast doesn't wear down your pads.

Give it a try.

I'll try this when I grind the pads.

I do this once a week. It helps for a day or two, but then the noise comes back. I want a near permanent solution.
