I have used these once on 5 fly lines and the abrasive side seems to be a good tool for line cleaning. There is no info about using a lubricant, but I used water and a fly line dressing. After running the line a couple of times with the abrasive side, I think you can use the back of the pad (foam side) to apply a final coat of dressing. I have yet to cast the lines to see if they are slick, but so far I am impressed that these pads are durable for many more cleanings.
