Product Review

This lube is best used as a burnishing lube--rub in with cloth or cotton applicator. Polish it into the wood of the car using 2000 grit sandpaper at axle location. Polish it into the axle at a low rpm with a finishing cloth. Polish it into the wheel using the cotton applicator. Then use it to dust both as you break in the set. Product can mixed wet with 99% alcohol if you want to make a paste. This method is a very effective means of apply product to burnishing cloth.

This product was designed to be used with 1000 grit prepared axles. You must break in your axle and wheel sets to get the best possible results. Although it is an effective dusting agent, better results are seen when you work in the lube so that you get the benefits of the micro molecules.

Derby Dust Dry Lube will not hold compression therefore it is not packable.

For the weight of derby cars, we have found better results with the softer graphite based dry lubes and not the harder tungsten dry lubes. View our youtube experiments. We have nothing to hide.

Derby Dust Dry Lube carries a lighter mass than tungsten and is softer. Tests show that it grips all the surfaces of every aspect of a derby car better than just one lube alone. In addition to layers of dry lube, Derby Dust Dry Lube incorporates lubrication at the micro level with the use of finer mesh lubricants. Know that the peaks and valleys of your wheel and axle set are being protected from friction. The larger particles in Derby Dust Dry Lube best perform on relatively rough surfaces at low speed, while its finer particles perform on smoother surfaces at higher speeds.

What does this mean? Simply put no matter what your chosen level of polish, Derby Dust Dry Lube can be used as a lubricant for your build. With proper break in process, you should have a near frictionless surface for your race day.

We know this products works because we use it ourselves.
