Default Front Brakes squeak first few rotations. Help!

I recently have had new front pads installed, and I've noticed that now whenever i start my vehicle and begin to drive the front brakes squeak during the first few rotations, then it goes away until i park and start driving again.

I've taken my car back to the shop and they have cleaned the brakes and put some kind of glaze, it was fine for the first few days but now its back. Any solutions for this problem, its annoying. Could it just be dust? But like clock work, after the first few rotations the squeeking is gone until i park and start driving again.

Thanks for the input.

WD40.



Just kidding! I would call the shop up and ask them what kind of brake pads they used, that would give us a better insight. Chances are they didn't install the highest quality pads. Also It's unlikely that its dust. They have been cleaned already and like clockwork it happened again.

yea they are probably very cheap pads and not good quality, and hopefully they are not those lifetime pads, the fact people even buy and companies sell those is crazy. I see it all the time at work people buying lifetime pads somewhere else and thinking they are a good investment and they last a lifetime, which they do last a very very long time but little do they know you will need your rotors turned or replaced every few thousand miles due to how hard these pads are. they just warp rotors or put grooves in them.
