Exactly. What is being “broken in”?
My father told me to use toothpaste 
My home doesn’t’ have anything else to clean the bearing.
Anyway it’s good now, it spins for a long time but my skill isn’t good enough to handle it, always tilt!
Dishsoap works well against lube because it’s anti-grease , just don’t leave any suds. When the bearing is wet flick spin it with you fingers, if there are bubbles keep rinsing.
Should I lube my one drop 10 ball?? I discovered that once I lube it, it has much more friction and the spin time is less than ever! So what is the point of lubing if it isn’t help with spin time or stability???
Smoothness, quiet performance, and longevity of the bearing.

i used to be a luber until i started getting more expensive bearings and throws and decided that the lube wasn’t helping… that was after i ruined a ceramic kon-kave bearing from over lubing it to where the balls just kinda slipped right out. don’t lube the thing unless your getting a screeching sound that is kinda like having bad brakes on a car. Though it does make the bearing i little quieter ( notice this does not work on shaqlers the things are as loud as well they are the loudest throws ever) it takes away from the spin time if you want long spins do not lube it very much maybe once a year if that. If you think about lubing and don’t want to pay big bucks try going for brass valve oil which you can find at most music stores just remember don’t touch the natural stuff it gets sticky in the heat go for the artificial it works better and is more consistent.
Whoops didn’t mean to thank you. I just wanted to point out that you aren’t supposed to lube ceramic bearings……. :
BTW check out GregP’s post above.
