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.
Sorry to hi-jack, but if tracking on XP10 and occasional street driving, does the cold temp lathe effect remove that initial transfer layer? I guess what I've been wondering is whether I need to re-bed the pads after stints of short street driving and before track days? Thanks!
