My brakes are sqeeling, what can i do to fix them, it is only while under light braking. They are the stock 03 sedan brakes if that helps. I don't know much about cars, but i have friends that do, any wash or something that i can do for the disk or pads please tell.

how many miles on the car? sounds like you may need pads and with that car you probably need rotors too.

If/When you do change the pads, make sure to bed them correctly. They'll last longer, be less likely to squeal and provide more friction between the rotor and the pad.

thanks for the help, I'll try new pads, and if that doesn't work I'll try new disks. How much do you think it will cost me?

right now i have 77,500 but i bought it from the infiniti dealer used at 75,000. Do they usually put on new pads? I also had then rebuild the brakes, but on new calipers, but my disks have rust on them, i guess that is a sign htat they are old.

When you buy a used car up to you to require: new brake pads rotors, battery, tires, clutch, etc always less expensive for a dealer to do these things at cost for the used car department which then adds these costs to the used cars price.
