I concur. The stuff is called Anti-Squeal Brake Paste/Lube. It's like a silicone paste. I think it's vehicle specific. I haven't been able to find any for our cars. It was all for like Benz's and BMW's.

You installed the pads, yet you didn't see the wear indicators?
Maybe your pads just don't have one.

Don't forget to reset your pads.
start the car and pump the brakes and pull the ebrake about 10 times. Not too quickly or harshly though.
I had a rock get in my rear brake like that. No damage to my rotor though.
