All you need to do is bed your brakes.

pressure washer? lol

take it to the dealer...it's still under warranty i'm assuming? the dealership i work at would probably do it for free because of the low mileage (if its under warranty)

there's also this stuff called saBesto Brake Finishing Treatment...its a metallic spray that you coat your rotor with...it fills in little slots in the rotors to reduce/stop squeaking...but be careful with it because it's almost like spray paint so cover the wheel well area before doing it if you do take that route
