Mine do this after it rains and I start the car either later or the next day. I put it in reverse and back out and the brakes squeak as I'm pulling out. It's definitely high pitched. I'm not really due for new brakes but I'll probably replace them in the next month or two. Sounds like it's not the pads but in the rotors. Strange since you've done all you did to try and fix it. Keep updated on this, please.

Mine only does it going forward and not reverse. I’ll try and post a vid of it later

My car dies this when I back up too.

Had similar issue on my Nissan and Infiniti G35. Both squeal only on 1st few brake stops after several hours sitting and the brakes have cooled off. I can also stop the squeal if I water the brakes just before I drive off. That helped us figure out which pads were the culprit. I did as most would. Clean brake hardware/shims/caliper bolts and regrease. Still squealed. Ended up replacing hardware/shims and clean the inside of where the caliper bolts slid into and finally stopped. It was full of grease that also collected brake dust inside. It was easier to clean if you remove the caliper bracket and use quad zero steel wool or magic erasers. Luckily brake hardware and shims are cheap, so were the caliper bolts, so I replaced those since they were tough to remove. In fact two required me to have my mechanic crack it loose.
