Default Glazed Pads?

Guy's, some months ago I bought a set of pads from you for my BA MkI GT-P with the factory Brembo set up. You suggested and then very promptly sent me through a set of Hawk pads (thanks!) but after a few days they started to squeel in the last part of braking - say coming up to a set of lights, they started to squeel when you had almost stopped.

This has been getting worse and now it is really loud and happens as soon as the brakes warm up. Every set of lights I have to grimace at the noise.

After having enough of the noise, I had my wife take the car to the brake place beside her work today and they advised that the pads were a poor match for the rotors and that they had "glazed". She said that they told her they had "un-glazed" the pads and that I would be having the same problem again in the very near future.

The car has only done about 1000km on the new pads, can you offer any advice on what's what?
