3- The contact between the braking surfaces is misaligned. 

Solutions: 

1- Clean your rotors with a specific (oil-free) disc brake degreaser. An alternative and common remedy is alcohol. Use it to clean the disc rotors with a small rag. 

Avoid using spray lubes anywhere near a bike with disc brakes. You can lube your bikes chain though!
