Default brake squeel

I didn't my front brakes between 10k-15k miles ago. i replaced the front brakes with brembo blanks and hawk pads. there was no noise till today. How long do hawk pads last? I checked the rear and they still ahve a lot of pad left..didn't get around to checking the front. I don't brake really agressivly, but could the pads already be gone?

they probably still have alot of pad life left just got the rotors glazed over. you can use a scotch brite sponge (the green stuff tos crub pans with) and scrub the surfaces of the rotors while keeping the sponge wet. ive had to do it several times since i have cross drilled rotors to get the glaze off since you cant turn them.
