I tried Zaino on one wheel and it seemed to help, but it wasn't a direct half-to-half comparison, so it's not a definitive test.

I may try it again this Spring and see what happens. May I'll try three wheels -- Wheel Wax vs. Nothing, Zaino vs. Nothing, and Wheel Wx vs. Zaino.
You have far too much time on your hands!

I just went to a new pad, especially since the M wheels are so difficult to clean.
