I have been sharpening for a while and transitioned to almost exclusively CBN wheels several years ago (following KG's suggestions RIP Vadim).
The wheels have loaded up -again.
I use water and light pressure yet I can see the pores filling (glazing) and effectiveness is dramatically reduced.
I sharpen mostly relatively high end kitchen and EDC knives (quality steel)
I have tried cleaning them with penetrant (PB Blaster) and a nylon bristle brush.
I am thinking of going totally to the dark side and trying some diamond wheels.
I am not a huge fan of the SG wheels, but they did start me down this rabbit hole.
I am open to any suggestions.
Thanks
