If it's not raining on a Test Day (it happens sometimes apparently), given that the initial enemy of any tyre is it's residual release fluid, how do you guys go about scrubbing in/prepping a set of wets ready for racing on another day?

Couple of 75%ish laps with Niks attached or somethng along those lines?

One cool lap should do it with limited acceleration and braking... Just smooth around for a lap, you want the blocks square for when you 'need' them
