Mintex Ceratec alternatives?

So I stripped my front brakes 3 weeks ago to stop them from squealing. Filed down the sharp edges and used Mintex Ceratec on the back of the pads. Went through a small pothole yesterday which had a lot of water and it seems that the lube has washed out as the NSF brake is squealing again.

The back of the pads are rubber where there pistons meet the pads so I didn't feel the need to get some shims but may do so now. Does anyone have any alternatives that might not wash out so easily?

When are you getting the squeal ? Did you replace the pins ? What pads have you got ? I started using ceratec myself recently too

The squeal is from moderate to hard braking. I've replaced the pins with mr pink pins and have the OEM brembo pads which arrived with my discs from MTEC. I just don't want to have to strip the brakes everytime after it rains :smiley:
 
Anyone? My brakes are really starting to piss me off :/
