SS/TC Brakes squealing

I have just about 700 miles on my SS/TC and I noticed when I come to a complete stop my brakes are already squealing. Its starting to get annoying because the car is brand new and they are already squealing. Just wondering if this is normal and if this is happening to everyone else with a SS/TC.

Mine also squeal, and yes, it's just the dust. Not harmful, but it can be annoying.

Spray those bitches once a week!! I use a high pressure hose on the wheels and brakes when I wash them, no squeeky for me.

Go take it out and go from 40 or 30moh and stop really hard a few times. That will stop the squealing - maybe. Ive never had a problem myself, but I have seen that squealing is usually worse on cars that brake too lightly.
