New brakes. Squeal/grind noise

Put new rotors in couldnt put pads in until three days later though just need to note that in case that's what caused or causing the problem..put pbrs 2 hours ago,ever since have made excessive grinding and random loud squels. Yes I followed the break in procedure. Help anyone? Someone said try pad cleaner

Did you clean the rotors before installing the new pads?

I've read and was told never to combine new rotors with old/older pads, this happened to me. I got fed up and just did a complete EBC Brake overhaul.

No -_-. an I couldn't help it it was only for 30 miles because I need to buy a caliper compressor an I didn't realize. So any solutions? I'd hate to re buy all the stuff again

Maybe turning the rotors will work.

I mean, my new brakes make a squealing noise but that's because braking with ease to bed them in the first 50 miles, in Miami, doesn't exist.
