Polishing Kit

 

A Pinewood Derby is an appointment an adult keeps with a Child to do something together. 

The Polishing Kit does two things.

First: It is a great way to spend a little more time with a Child working on a Pinewood Derby Car!

Second: Polishing the Wheels, Screws, and the end of the Dowel will definitely make a Pinewood Derby Car go much FASTER!!!!

The Kit includes:

220 Grit sandpaper; This will be used for the end of the dowel, and for the little bump on the wheel where the plastic in injected into the mold. The back of the sandpaper will be used to apply Graphite* to the end of the dowel.

2000 Grit sandpaper: This is used to sand the Screws so they are very smooth. Then the Back of the 2000 Grit sandpaper is used to apply the polish the screws. The 2000 Grit sandpaper will also be used to smooth the outside of the Wheels.

A Cardboard buffer is for the Screws.

Metal Polish: A ¼ oz. jar of Metal Polish. This is enough polish to do as many as 60 screws [that’s 15 Cars]**.

Plastic Polish: A ¼ oz. jar of a special Water Based Polish. This polish is the type that is used on jet aircraft windshields. It does not leave any residue on the wheel.

One, 12” piece of pipe cleaner, to be used for polishing the inside of the Wheels.

A solid brass counter sink for the Wheels.

The Polishing Kit instructions include information on Wheel Alignment! Weight Placement!! And Aerodynamics!!!

* You may want to get the Jar of Graphite to go along with the Polishing Kit.

** Why enough for 15 Cars?

If you are working with a group of Children, the Polishing Kit can be shared.

If you are working on one Pinewood Derby Car, you will probably have another Derby next year and possibly the year after that too!
