loud squealing while braking- help

this problem has frustrated me especially since we are coming to summer time and i roll the windows down and can hear the squealing....apparently anytime i come to a standstill i hear a loud squealing noise, it is especially apparent when im driving super slow and coming to a complete stop by lightly putting on the brakes. its also a VERY loud squeal when im turning into a parking stall and slowly braking to put the vehicle to a complete stop.

I am not getting any sort of brake pad warnings on my dash and i believe i still have around 4mm on the front 6mm on the back or something to that effect. Could it be the rotors? or a different issue you guys have encountered.

I noticed when i clean the wheels after a carwash the squealing isnt as bad but its still apparent.

Any help on this is appreciated thanks.

Check for a lip on rotors. Replace with MB rotors/pads.

The squeal comes from where the back of the pad touches the caliper. Remove the pads and re-dress with disc brake dressing of your choice. I use hi temp bearing grease.
