Is it possible to glaze a belt? seems like the sides of my belt are slippery and i seem to not be getting over 80 or so on my sled.

Yes it is possible to glaze a belt. Check the secondary spring. Might be shot. I replaced mine with a new Cat red/wht and all was well. Don't know what you have for a spring but sounds like it may need some attention. I am assuming the C to C distance is correct along with offset too?

You can also break the glaze by scrubbing the belt with a green scrubbie and don't forget to clean the clutch sheave faces too.

I'm not sure what C and C is? The springs look fine and when it was serviced this year the dealer told me everything looked great. Do I just scrub the clutch faces with the scotch brite pad as well?

C to C = center to center.
Yes, scrub the clutch faces as well to break up the glaze that can also build up on them. Scrubbie with hot water and grease cutting dish soap [rinse well with hot water] or 200 grit sandpaper.
