To achieve top speed, your axles and wheel bores must be polished to a mirror-like finish. To create this finish, you need some serious polishing material.
Axle Polishing Kit - The industrial grade cushioned abrasive papers in this kit take the guess work out of polishing BSA axles and other axles that have had flaws removed with file. The kit consists of one each of the following 4 x 3 inch papers, plus instructions. Note that the last two papers are much finer than any commercially available sandpaper, and are finer than pumice. One set of axle polishing papers is enough to polish 8 axles.
- 30 micron - ~400 grit
- 15 micron - ~600 grit
- 8 micron - ~1350 grit
- 5 micron - ~1500 grit
- 3 micron - ~2500 grit
Diamond Polish - For the highest possible shine, polish your axles with our 1 micron diamond polish after using the 5100-Axle Polishing Kit.

Wheel Bore Polish - This industrial grade product will easily and safely remove microscopic pits and burrs inside the wheel bore. It is water soluble, plastic safe, and polishes to a one micron finish. Includes two pipe cleaners. Axle Polish - A quick way to apply a high shine on your smooth axles. Just a dab on a clean rag is all it takes.

From Randy:
"If you are using axles without flaws, such as our BSA Speed Axles, et al, and if you don't want to spend a lot of time polishing, then you can use our Axle Polish for a quick shine." |

From Randy:
"Max-V-Lube is a superior graphite for pinewood derby cars that puts the "X" in Maximum Velocity. We performed multiple controlled tests including inclined slide tests, weighted-wheel spin tests, and track tests. In all cases Max-V-Lube outperformed other graphite lubes. Therefore we highly recommend Max-V-Lube for your race. However, we are continuing to offer Tube-O-Lube as a low-cost option.
When applied properly, Krytox 100 is less messy and easier to use than graphite. Just make sure that non-dry lubes are allowed in your race, and then apply the lube per the included instructions. "Less is best", so take care to remove excess oil (excess oil not only makes a mess, but it also slows down the car!)." |
