ceramics and after driving for about 15-20 minutes they start squealing? I'm just trying understand the physical aspect of this.

Default remounted mine w/ A$$loads of stickum and it helped for a week.

Maybe the opposite approach is more appropriate--lube instead of stick?

Default I've had these pads for 5,000 miles

and I absolutely hate them. Squeal like a pig and dust galore. I wish I would have bought stockers...
