Just like polishing your pine derby axles, you want the wheel bore to be smooth and polished to reduce friction when your wheel turns. The axle / wheel contact point is the biggest source of friction on a pinewood derby car. Reduce friction in this area and your car will go faster.

The PRO Wheel Bore Polishing Kit from Pinewood Pro includes a special plastic polish and six cotton spears that are perfectly sized for your pinewood derby wheel bore. One end of the cotton spear is stiff so you can chuck it in your drill while the other end is a soft, yet compact cotton swap that is perfectly sized for a pinewood derby wheel bore diameter.

How to use the PRO Wheel Bore Polishing Kit

  1.  Put some plastic polish on the cotton swab, insert the swab and polish away.
  2.  Wash out your wheels thoroughly and repeat the process with your lubricant to polish the bore, just like polishing your axles. Reducing friction increases your car speed.

Simple, fast and proven to increase your car speed! Bore polish cotton spears fit Cub Scout BSA Wheel bores and Awana Grand Prix Wheel bores.
