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.
Reviews of Centric parts For Business

Just did a brake job for my Accord (painted calipers, new Centric Premium rotors, new Akebono Performance pads, new hardware, fluid, etc.).
Plain Centric rotors have served me well, too.
I went with the Centric Rotors and Power Stop Pads, it has been good so far. Had to replace them at 26k miles as well.
Just put Centric rotors with RS-R pads on the front. Great combo, doing the rears when it warms up with the same combination.
I upgraded my front rotors and pads when they needed to be replaced last year. He recommended solid (non drilled/non slotted) rotors to avoid cracking. My braking distance was *much* shorter after the swap.
I went with Centric/Stoptech blanks when I replaced the worn out rotors on my R32. They've been just fine. It was a swap to Hawk HPS pads that made a HUGE difference.
Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic is what I use. No dust and quiet too.
Some of the best cost effect rotors on the market are Centric Premium rotors, they make most of the OEM rotors in the auto market (even Brembo too) but you won't pay for the brand name on them.
I have the same pad compound but I end up just buying some cheap Centric blanks. The rotors end up taking in so much heat that they'll end up with a crack here and there. I just end up tossing the rotors and pads, they're relatively cheap so it doesn't bother me much.
