can't get rid of squeeks on my new front rotors and pads.....
I had zimmerman rotors w/mintex pads put on my AR with HP2 calipers. After about 1000 miles of driving the brakes were still squeeking really bad so the shop sanded the rotors, pads and also put some anti-squeek goo on the backside of the pads last night. The brakes are still squeeking really bad as the car comes to a stop. Anything else I can try to get rid this squeek problem?

I have had a similar squeak problem with Hawk HP+ pads.
My solution is to change to HPS pads tomarrow morning.
I tried camphering all edges of the pads with no affect. I started out with HPS pads and they did not squeak. I put on the HP+ pads because they stop incredibly well, but squeak very loudly. So, back to the HPS's.
