Default Brake more aggressively, or re-bed the pads. In my experience, the squealing at the end of a stop
comes from light brake use.

Default Take the pads off and spray with anti-squeal compound. Or use the straw that comes with the spray
and aim it at the crack between the pads and the calipers. I did the latter and it solved the problem.

Default My PBR Ceramics are just starting to do this. I used anti-squeal spray and I bedded them in
I guess it's time to do it again!

It was a small spray can. The brand escapes me at the moment. The spray is red and is tacky
