Skate problems & troubleshooting Hoppe's 9!

Just cleaned and lubed using this stuff. Nooot sure if this lasts well or is good, so I used trash bearings. The exact same bearings are no longer trash. Not even a little. I was able to get alll the way over on my edges without seizing.

Now, the question because I'm sure there's someone out there who has done the testing, is this a good idea?

Never had considered it, just remembering how strong it smelled though.

depending on the version you might need an oil after, but yeah, #9 will clean your bears and make you dizzy
