A trick I use is to wash the car and make sure to spray down the wheels, rotors, etc. Then let the car sit overnight to develop a fine layer of rust on the rotors. The next morning do a bedding in procedure with 4-5 repeated hard 60-10 stops, not quite to ABS threshold. A long straight with no place for cars to pull out works best. Don't come to a complete stop each time, just immediately accelerate back to speed. Then drive 5-10 minutes with as little braking or stopping as possible on the return home. The layer of rust helps clean the pads and rotors to reduce the squeaking plus it gives smoother stops.
