Brake squeal

Ok guys and gals. I have had brake squeal since the 3rd mile of leaving the car lot. No warranty or anything since I bought the car in 2017 and it's a 06. I've put new pads and rotors front and back. Lubed all contact points that aren't the pad and rotor itself, I've bedded the brakes and still maybe a day or 2 after bedding them they start to squeal again. It' a 06 tl mt6 with brembo brakes. Semi-metallic pads. Does ANYONE know how to fix this OR does anyone know if ceramic pads would be better. They only squeal once warmed up. Gonna lose my mind and brake my bank if I can't figure this out.

While not inexpensive (or dust free for that matter), the OEM pads are very-VERY quiet.

Well...maybe your OEM pads were...mine squeaked like a mofo when backing up.
What pads are you using? Are the shims in place? Did you lube the back and side contact points on the pads? I haven't had a squeak on mine since I went to the Duralast C-MAX pads. When I had OEM pads, I just had to clean the backs of the pads and lube it back up to keep it quiet for a few months.
