Loud Brake Squealing !

Hey guys, at usually any speed, as Im braking I get a very loud squeal coming from the front brakes as I approach a complete stop. My pads and rotors still have a decent amount of life in them, so whats the issue? How can I stop the annoyingly loud and embarrassing squealing?

Have you checked the inside pad? The wear indicators are usually on the inside because those tend to wear down the fastest.

If the pads are indeed fine, id take everything apart and properly lubricate contact points. Check FSM if you are unsure.

The car was sitting for a while if that makes any difference? and I've only been driving it a couple days. My mechanic said the pads are fine

Has this been resolved? I have the same issue and I just replaced my pads and rotors.

Hasn't been resolved yet, my car still sounds like Thomas the tank engine comin to station,

I am goin to my buddies shop tomorrow to get my fenders rolled though and he mentioned to me he was going to but anti squeal paste on it. Ill ask him to lube the pads/sliders as well though and hopefully it'll go away.
