I have to say I concur with most of what you said, but I do disagree somewhat. First, you should really have gone into detail on how you were applying the lube. It took me a few tries, but I do believe this dry lube to improve most bearings I use, as long as I just wipe the little brush on the inside of the bag, not the actual lump of powder, and then just touch one ball once on top and once on the bottom for crown cages, and just touch the raceway once on double sided bearing cages. The dry lube does need to break in a minute or two, and it does make a few bearings louder, but I do feel that the spin times usually increase over a freshly cleaned dry bearing.
That being said, good review anyway, I exclusively use dry lube, so of course I know a thing or two that you’d only get after using this stuff for a while, but I gotta say, you described the stuff pretty dead on, except for the fact that I believe you applied too heavily if you didn’t really see the bearings at least spinning quicker if anything.
I’ll edit the review soon to add more details. Unluckily I’m not able to buy acetone in my country as stores mainly sell nail polish remover now with water and other stuff, so I can’t use the recommended procedure which is cleaning with acetone and maybe use a drop of it after applying the dry lube.
