How long has it been since you had your rotors turned? That might something to do with it.

You might also wanna consider re-greasing the pads.

Try getting some brake cleaner and clean up your pads and rotors with it. If it still squeels it could be the material the pads are made out of.

spray them down like he sead..it might be a little drirt, it will go away once you spray them and if it comes back soon check the brakes

the rotors dont need turning. they were all replaced less than 2000 miles ago. do i just spray the rotor and move the car or should i take them off and spray the pads?

get brake cleaner and spray and wipe down the rotors, and maybe a stopqueal product from auto parts store would get the brakes to stop sqealing.
