I replaced rotors and pads on my accord and they still squeek. I even went back and the dude there said its because of brake dust and i should just hose the brakes to get it off.

Did you apply lube to all the moving parts of the caliper? Squeaking is usuallythe pad backing rubbing on either the caliper piston or the other end of the caliper.
Did you install shims/ antisqueal compound to all contact surfaces(minus the pad face of course)?

how does that make any sense? how can you "bed them in" after you've already been using them, since bedding them in the what you do the first time you use them?
anyway yeah I have new Bendix pads with new rotors in the rear and they squeal, never had a problem with bendix pads before. I have been too lazy to even look at them but unless something is really wrong with the caliper all I can really do is spray the rotor down with cleaner.
