I find your videos very informative. Can any car polish or wax be used to polish the bores? Also, what is the order that in which you perform your wheel prep? I'm assuming that polishing the wheel bores is one of the last steps. Finally, what is "Legends" and are there comparable products that can be used. Thanks!

Amerrill,
Spacewalker is a very fast Pro Racer. When I did race in the first half of the PWDR Season, he was and still is a "force to be reckoned with"!

I think it will be a fun race year at PWDR. New venue and a different perspective. We just want to have fun racing with a mix of new and seasoned racers!

Thanks for the info Spacewalker. A couple more questions:
1) In the video from Step 5, you are spraying something on the axle. What is it and what does it do?
2) What do you use for lubricant and how do you prep and apply?
I would also like to hear your thought on fenders. My son likes the ideas of running fenders, primarily just to do something different. Is there really a benefit to this? Is there a downside?
Thanks again!

The product is called Jig-loo, is the coating on the axles that helps reduce friction.
Lubricant is Spacewalker Oil that I use and sell same on my site. Apply two drops on axles before inserting into the wheel bore.
Fenders are difficult to install and look great on the car, not sure if there is a speed advantage.
