Friction is phenomenon you see between two rough surfaces. A slippery liquid or lubricants when applied, coats over these rough surfaces creating a layer of the lubricant itself. Liquids like lubricants has very low viscosity, that is the sliding friction between two liquid layers, hence they easily slip over each other. In this way they help reduce friction.

Do cleats reduce friction?
yes it can also reduce friction especially when its slippery, cleats reduce the surface area that are in contact between the shoes and the ground surface?
How can you reduce the amount of friction on moving parts?
all you have to do is add something slippery e.g oil
What can be used to reduce friction?
Lubricant (Liquids, oils, grease, fats, water, graphite...)
Does wax increase or decrease FRICTION?
Actually, waxing skis increases friction. Wax is not slippery. If you wanted less friction you could oil your skis.
Why wouldn't you want to reduce the friction involved in using a winding road?
Because if there is less friction, the road would be very slippery, therefore more dangerous

What is the name of liquids used to reduce friction?
Lubricants.

aerodynamic exteriors to make them more slippery in the wind.
