Brake pads Textar or Centric
Continuing to drive on them this way will not make the pad deposits go away. Trust me. I have the same ceramic pads on our 3 vehicles (golf r included). Centric posi quiets. They are great pads with great cold bite and minimal dust. But if you overheat them and stay on the brake pedal at a stop, like any other pad, it will embed pad material onto the rotor.
Pros: great cold bite, minimal dust
Cons: embed pad material

I recommend Textar, great bite and no need of pre-heating. They also don't cause too much wear on the discs and on the other hand don't generate much brake dust.
Pros: great bite, low dust
Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic is what I use. No dust and quiet too.
Pros: no dust, quiet
Textar is an OEM supplier, and they're not that expensive - run with those. Same amount of dust as stock, but no noise, and stock like braking characteristics.
Pros: no noise, stock characteristics
Cons: same dust as stock
Textar is the OEM brand..which of course you can get from 1stVWparts.
Pros: OEM brand
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
