Gibby- Nissan will clean and remove the glaze off your rotors.

I have the base brakes and they squeel often. I put new pads in the rear recently and the fronts still have 60% life but squeel sometimes.

Like the others have mentioned, take it out back on a closed road with a good surface and slam on the brakes from 50-60mph a couple times..

Also just in case, make sure there isn't a small rock or something in between the pad and the rotor.
