1) Not on all rims and brake setups they don't. I suspect my problem was that I was using them on short levers with not much pull. The other problem I had was that the pads became rock hard and polished shiny after a couple of months thus making them worse.
2) Yes there is. You can dab your brakes periodically to dry your pads and rims a bit.

That does happen, putting them in the part washer bring them back into working order.

That is true, abet annoying.

They stop better than normal pads (ditto to Swissstop Blue), but in a full deluge, there's nothing you can do when there's too much water between the rims and pads.
