A smoother surface would also tend to reduce friction. I wouldn't be wasting my time on it if I didn't think it was beneficial.

no Mikronite, no cryogenic, no EP additive...631 passes to date on my out of the box Richmond Pro gears, 60 footing low 20's to high teens with a best of 1.17 at 3144 lbs. with nothing more than 1 quart of Mobil 1 gear lube.

Just saying.
