WARNING:
Product Description
Description Max-V-Lube dry graphite is a proprietary blend of high-purity natural flake graphite for pine derby cars. 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 — 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.

Enter graphite powder. I’ve used this stuff as a kid for slot car racing. Well, it did the trick- one shot into the plunger retainer and this thing is grease lightning. I can now perform the skill shots that the old sticky plunger wouldn’t allow. I would HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking to reduce the friction on their pinball plunger.
I have been meaning to try it on the doors of my house at some point as well, since many of the locks are a little stiff and the doors don't always close easily.
It's my opinion that graphite is graphite. The others have pretty much the same performance when it comes to dry lubrication. It's the applicator that really makes this product stand out. You can really pinpoint where you want it and it goes there. Tubed graphite tends to get all over the place and works out of shear quantity in order to get into the axles and wheels. I would recommend.
