One way to clean the street pad off is to just run the race pads on the street.. it basically acts like a lathe when cold and will do a pretty good job after a 100 or so miles of street driving. Then you are ready to bed in the race pads for optimal performance.

I've also heard of Carbotech's Bobcats. Supposed to be a street pad used along with XP series race pads and I guess due to some similarity in material avoids the steps listed above.
This is what I’m doing or will be next track day. I was switching between xp10/8 and stock and then found the compounds to not really play well together so now I have the 1521 for street but I haven’t switched back to xp10/8 since I haven’t had a track day since. Now I need rotors too cause I got some shimmy goin on, feels like the rear but I want 2 piece all 4 corners so I’ll run with it till I can replace em all.
