[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10509449, member: 11681"] I have used sand paper when I first switched to Carbotech from some el cheapo Motorcrafts. I scuffed them by hand pretty good though. I have had no problems bedding in. If you are going to be in a hurry with the bed in, then I would skim cut them. If you have time to bed them in somewhat slowly, the pads themselves will actually remove some of the molecules left from the old pad compound. Race pads do this quite rapidly if they are kept cold, it's a little dangerous though. But the street pads will too, to some extent, if you get most of it first with sand paper or whatever. What we do NOT want to happen is the plating out over top of heavy or even medium previous pad residuals, this can cause uneven transfer and run out issues and bad results. [/QUOTE]
