My 85 has squeaked off and on since I bought it.

 I put new pads in. No good.  Put no-squeal spray the back of the pads then took it off when it did no good.

I had the rotors turned. Now instead of a high spot squeak now and then, it will squeak the whole turn of the wheel now and then. 

Mine mainly does it after it has been braked hard for a while, like driving through stop and go traffic on a hot day.

I have the anti-squeal shims in.  The calipers are new.

It's not bad enough for me to look at the master cylinder. I was wondering if it is keeping too much residual pressure on the brakes.

  Hey list, 
  Lately my front disc's have been squealing like stuck pigs. I pulled the 
  wheels to check out the pads and they're fine. Is it just dust and I need to 
  clean the rotor? 
  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
