a magic goop that can be applied to lose the squeaks? I only hear them at low speeds like when coming to a stop especially on wavy surfaces.

It could be shocks, sway bar bushings, or control arm bushings. Shocks are fairly simple to replace and the sway bar bushings could be easily be replaced or lubed. However, not sure what you could do with the control arm bushings short of disassembling them. Might also consider greasing the ball joints and tie rod ends while you're at it.

Just a thought, but are you sure that the brake rotors are not warped and causing this noise? I'm not there to hear it, so it's a shot in the dark.

GTDude might be on the right track. Do you feel the brake pedal pulse with the vibration? That's another sign of warped rotors.

There is a latex stuff, permatex blue stuff, not sure what it's called that you put on the brake shoe on the piston side of the caliper to reduce brake noise.

It could be stab bar bushings, or arm bushings. You can get silicone for bushings at the parts stores.
