For instance, Hawk recommends:

Do not allow the vehicle to come to a complete stop.When completed with this process, park the vehicle and allow the brakes to cool completely before driving on them again. Do not engage the parking brake until after this cooling process is compete"

I followed something similar to this. My issue was new rear rotors with existing but near new pads. The rotors had some painted surface. This has totally reset the pads.
