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.
Ive never ever had this type of issue but Im sure it can depend on what pads you are switching between. On the front I have Mintex Extremes for the track and DS2500 for the street. On the rear Bobcats and XP8's. The Mintex Extremes have almost no stopping power until they are heated up so no good for daily driving.
