After extensive testing against other brands of graphite, we are offering Max-V-Lube as our premier graphite for pinewood derby performance. Application Apply Max-V-Lube as follows: Fill the bore of the wheel with graphite. Insert an axle into the wheel bore. With one hand, firmly grasp the axle and hold the axle horizontal to the ground. With the other hand, spin the tire gently β€” don’t drop the axle. Spin the wheel ten times. Hold the axle with the wheel hanging towards the ground. Deposit some lube into the gap between the axle and wheel bore. Tap the wheel gently to help move the lube down into the wheel bore. Repeat steps 3 to 7, two more times. Finally, spin the wheel 10 times. Don’t add any more graphite after this point. After performing this procedure keep the wheel/axle pairs together as a unit. Review: Great lubricant - Use this on My Son’s pinewood Derby car. It worked very very well. Review: Exactly what you'd expect - Graphite Lube with precision applicator! - I didn't use it on a pinewood derby car, but I had a project where I needed to get some lubricant down inside a part without making an oily mess - graphite dry lube seemed like a good choice, but I was worried about getting it everywhere. The needle tip on this bottle worked extremely well - I was able to get it exactly where I wanted and squeeze the bottle a little to dispense just a touch of powder where I wanted it. My too-sticky-to-work vintage gift is now freed up and operating smoothly, and I have 95% of the bottle left for next time. ## Features - NOT ALL PINE DERBY CAR GRAPHITE IS CREATED EQUAL - Maximum Velocity lube dry graphite is a proprietary blend of high-purity natural flake graphite for top performing pinewood cars. - HELP YOUR RACER WIN - Maximum Velocity has been serving the Pine Derby Car community for 20 years.

I will test and then race the car. Add before actual race?** A: It all depends on how many passes the car before the actual races. If when testing you see it start to slow add more. **Q: How many cars can one of this bottle use on? Enough to cover 9 cars?** A: Yes, there should be more than enough for 9 cars. **Q: Can I use this in a sticky doorknob?** A: It looks to be standard powdered graphite. The only difference I can see is it is a very fine powder and not a course powder. It may work better than usual. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lubricant *by N***. on February 20, 2026* Use this on My Son’s pinewood Derby car.

The applicator is small enough to get into every needed spot and the flow is easily controllable. I’ve kissed other brands that just dump out, and the fact that you can better modulate the volume of flow makes this a solid value proposition for the money. ## Frequently Bought Together - Maximum Velocity Premium Pinewood Derby Graphite Powder | Easy Application Tip for Wheels & Axles | Lubricant for Pine Car Kits - Pinewood Pro PRO Driller Tool for use in Derby Cars | Create Straight Axle Holes, 2.5 Degree Axle Holes, and Raised Wheel Holes | Make Your car Faster | Save time with This Drill jig - PRO Axle Inserter Guide: Easy, Accurate Alignment for Pinewood Derby car axles | Improve Your Track Times and Reduce Friction with Perfectly Straight axles in Seconds --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/166708941-maximum-velocity-premium-pinewood-car-graphite-powder-easy-application-tip](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/166708941-maximum-velocity-premium-pinewood-car-graphite-powder-easy-application-tip) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
