Most likely, the Pagid pad is a bit harder than the factory pads. As a result, you never got them up to temp while driving on the street at lower speeds. Since they weren't really biting into the rotor, there was no polishing effect. Once you put the factory pads back on, they heated up in no time, and bit into the rotors, giving you that nice shiny sheen.
I know when I ran my Hawk blues on the street, the same type of thing happened. Plus they squealed like Ned Beatty in Deliverance.
