After that it will wear off quickly with normal driving (that's my experience, anyhow) so leave it that way until the next track day, or use a street pad and don't do it at all if you don't go to the track.
I noticed that as well but luckily I'm daily driving like an absolute idiot so I have no trouble with regenerating transfer layer during daily driving. That said I always have to remember that it gets wiped after any rainy day since during those I'm unable to break hard enough to get them to optimal temps since tires don't have enough grip on wet surface. Whenever I forget about that I tend to get myself into very dodgy situations...
