Default Clutch deglazing

I am currently using a monster 3 clutch. Lately I've noticed there's more chatter and squeal than usual. I know the clutch has a bit of glaze on it. Besides doing a few hard launches, what other ways are there to deglazing the clutch?

You can also do some aggressive shifting. After the disc is quiet again, simply adjust your driving habits a little to avoid slipping the clutch unnecessarily.

Right there with you. Mine squeals right at the start and then after that it is fine. Chatters in first but gets really bad when its been driven for a while. Literally have to pop the clutch to keep it from doing that.

Another way to deglaze a clutch disc is to blast it with silicone media in a blast tank with about 40psi of pressure. This will kick up the material and give it some bite.

Wouldn't that void the warranty?
