I start my car after sitting for about 3 hrs...
and my brakes squeal for about 1-3 mins until they get a lil warmed up
anyone know the cause of this

they are rather new pads...? is it likely that i need that anti squeal paste they sell?

thnx.

Brake dust can cause squeal, try flushing out rotors/calipers with a garden hose. It can also depend on pad material, so it could be just the new pads are like that.
