Brakes will squeak if car was not driven say after 5 hrs or overnight. The noise will disappear after braking a few times. Could it be contaminants? Can it be clean(spray) with "brakeclean"? Can I spray onto the pads?

HI there,

This squeal is usually due to glazing of the pads or hot spotting of the rotors, if the pads are well down replace them and get the rotors skimmed, if the pads are fairly new, rough up the surface with some coarse Emmery paper to help remove the build up of resin, use a mask and safety glasses when doing this.
