Default Squealing front? brakes

Only 4000 kilometers and the brakes are squealing, I think it is front, never even seen water! there is not rust at all on the pads/rotors? could it be build up of brake dust??

Brakes couldve been overheated at one point.

I know I had the problem on my Shelby - 7500km and they were making noise.
Once a pad is overheated, it can develop a glaze on the pads, which can be taken off either by servicing them or replacing them.

I know i had to replace mine because the heat caused the rotors to warp
