@TKjinxin No, not exactly, especially with bearings. WD-40 leaves behind this sticky residue goo after applying and it picks up a ton more dirt and shit, even though your bearings may seem to be smoother and quicker

Ok, leaving the shields off is NEVER a good idea, it won't rid iteslf of dirt... If the bearings are new, and have REAL ABEC ratings, there will be NO difference in speed between an ABEC 3 or an ABEC 9, unless you break 300 mph, wear level, cleanliness and lubricant are the only factors at skateboard speeds that will affect speed. (Free spinning a wheel has NO impact on actual speed under load)
