If you aren't smelling brakes you are doing it wrong. They are typically smoking before this and braking torque is significantly improved. I then drive around for another 5-10 minutes touching the brakes as little as possible and never coming to a complete stop. Eventually park the car at the house and let it cool completely. The bedding procedure is complete.

I bolded the Biggie that Ladybug Left Out, but Brad's additions are Excellent.
If you keep the bedding up until you have "Fade", you're Done. You'll Probably get to the "Stink" First, depending on your pads, but you need to get to at least one of the two before you begin the "Cooldown Procedure".
Brad's Write-Up is GREAT.
Just remember to leave plenty of room in case that Fade surprises you.
