New Brake pad bedding procedure, Is there anything I should know Options

[Cupomeat]

Ok, did a search to see if there was discussion on this topic and found nothing, so here goes;

What is the proper procedure for bedding in new brake pads?

What I have used, which is from something I read many years ago, but can't find is the following;
1. Install pads and pump pedal to make sure they are seated against the rotor before driving.
2. Drive the car up until around 40 mph and slow the car using the brakes, but do not stop each time.
3. Resume speed of 40mph and repeat slowing allowing the brakes to cool in between and do not let them get too hot at first.
4. continue this for about 10 "slowings" and then drive gingerly for the next 100 miles if possible.

Any opinions on this? Any knowledge of manufacturer recommended process?

The last mintex pads I installed said to follow the car manufacturer recommended process...

As I am an Engineer, I investigated and was told that the reason for this was to keep the initial pad bedding from over heating the new pad surfaces until it bedded into the rotor. To that end, I assume this is really only for stock type pads and probably not for Race/AX pads.
