Squeaking??!!

Is anyone else getting a really annoying squeaking noise when backingup or moving forward at really slow speeds?? Mine only seems to do it after the car has been parked for several hours, and it only lasts for 30 seconds or so??

its because the rotors rust and it takes a little bit for the rotors to clean up.

a good wheel cleaner will help the rotors rust faster. get some of the rubber spray on the rotors and leave it for 30sec - 1 min. the rotors will turn orangeish and scare the f*ck out of u. just hose it off really well, maybe wipe it down as much as you can. it will squeek REALLY bad for about 5 miles or so (almost sounds like a grind), but it will be over with after that.

I have had plenty of cars before this one that have had rotors all around, and I don't recall any of them squeaking like this?? Wouldn't I need to be braking in order for the rotors to be the cause of the noise?? It only happens when I'm moving with my foot completely off of the brake??
