    Time for Completion

    What would be the best time to finish the derby car completely? Week before race day, two weeks before race day? After completion do you graphite wheels daily up until the race? Or do you complete the car graphite the wheels once or twice and done?

    After burnishing your wheels

    After you burnish your wheels, is necessary to continue to graphite your wheels til race day. Or do you leave your wheels alone and not worry about it?
