Probably will... needing an occasional deglazing of the pads via some spirited riding where some heavy braking cleans whilst having some fun!

I plan on doing some of that this Wed, as I have the day off.

Oh, and if the pads come out again, a light smear of brake grease, rubber grease or copper grease on the back of the pads may deter the vibration that can contribute to the squeal.

Hate to disappoint you chaps, but that hasn't made my brakes stop squealing..........
But hey, I'm gonna keep on trying.

Got a tube of that PBR grease mesself.
I remember as a kid a brake store called 'Preston Brakes' with the PBR logo.

Do be careful greasing brakes tho!

No squeal, no stop.
