When you smooth the inside of the clutch bell to a glass like surface and the clutch pads... Then all you're doing is creating slippage more often and more heat which can lead to belt failures. Once the bell and clutch shoes heat up and glaze over they lose most of their grip.

Things you might want to try:
1. Use some fine grit sand paper on clutch pads and clean that glaze off
and then some heavier grit sand paper or emry cloth on the clutch bell

2. Heavier clutch springs for the clutch

3. Might need a new clutch, if the clutch pads are worn out

4. I would definitely check the rollers for flat spots (replace if necessary)

5. If sliders, make sure they are seated the correct way.

6. Take off the Variator and Clutch assembly apart and clean it well.

7. If the clutch bell shows signs of warping, scoring or fractures, it has to be replaced.

7. Use the correct belt size for your buggy.
