So I decided to clean the bearing in my Wedgie (because when I got it, it was a little responsive.). I cleaned it, and it was responsive. I have clean it about another 8 times. It doesn't like me.

Yelling HEEEEEEELP!! Isn't going to make it better.
You need PURE mineral spirits or Lighter Fluid, what you bought is probably mixed in with water or some sort of solvent or diluent.
Clean the bearing with lighter fluid.

Either that or just make sure it is 100% mineral spirits. It could also be labeled as paint thinner, but make sure it has the 100% mineral spirits label. Your bearing may well have something stuck in it. Is it easy to flick the bearing, causing it to spin? If not you may need to de-shield it (I use a needle to pry back the clip) and blow compressed air into it after cleaning.

It's a ceramic bearing. I'll check the paint thinner thingy and I'll need to buy compressed air.
