Works for me , but that Red CRC crap causing squealing and needs to go...I haven't wrenched for 40years but my personal experience is it squealed on my Boxster. Of course now I have Akebono, put them in dry and all is good and dust free on all three cars.

Rondo,
Carefully bed in your pads per Mintex instructions, continue driving the car for another 5-10 minutes to cool the brakes and park it overnight. This tends to eliminate 90% of brake pad vibration and squeal issues by bonding pad material to the rotors. If you still have squeal, you can pull the pads and put a 45% bevel on the leading edges to quiet them.
