Forget toothpaste, just apply a little oil* or fairy liquid to the disc surfaces, an excellent means of stopping squeaks.
* yes obviously not serious…
Just to clarify* yes obviously not serious…
Oil - not serious
Fairy Liquid - not commented upon...
I guess Fairy Liquid keeps your hands nice and soft too....

Apply a line of toothpaste from the inner edge to outer edge. The paste will reduce the vibration which causes the squealing.
Colgate or sensodyne ?

A lot of you don't seem to be taking this seriously, we're desperately trying to get to the root of the problem for the OP here.
And to crown it all, some of your are suggesting using oil ...
At 1200 miles I'm guessing you've been driving it gently whilst running it in ?
If so, the pads will most likely have glazed slightly, so try some heavier braking from higher speeds, I'd do 4-5 stops from 70-80mph down to 20-30 and see if that stops the squeal.

Have never heard the toothpaste thing, but have already stripped the brakes and applied anti seize to the pad backing with limited success. was hoping someone else on here who has one would let me know if this is just there thing, or if someone know if they use a different compound on the Dakar?
