I'm with Zed on this one. Let it all come off. Your braking will improve and i reckon anything you use to try and stop it peeling will impede your stopping power.  :)

like big rhys said.
i done this to my back wheel after he mentioned it ages ago.
sanded all the black off and knackered the wheel right up.
mine never did work right after that.
2 new sets of brake pads the lot.
just let it wear on its own.
