Superior sanding

If your slipper pads are glazed, you can revive them with fine-grit sandpaper. The tricky part is to be sure that you hold the pad flat so you don’t create low spots. The best tool for this job is the pressure plate that the pad is keyed to, or you can use an old spur gear, if the pad is keyed to the gear. Sand in a circular, polishing motion until the glaze has gone.
