DerbyDad4Hire DVD just for Oil?

[rookie]

The DVD the DD4H has on his website : 2010 Nationals Workshop on DVD! Unlock The OIL SECRETS!

Those that have it, is it worth buying if you can only run graphite, or is it really dedicated to running oil?

Was considering ordering it, and watching it before ordering some parts.

The video will help no matter what lube your running. It's worth the money.

I have used the same prep process for graphite minus the axle spray and the oil... just add graphite to the process.

+1
Like 5kids says, no axle lube. I would also make sure the axle and wheel bore were cleaned with alcohol before adding graphite.

Any idea as to whether running alcohol through the bore after polishing (in my case, with Novus 2) will remove the polish?

 

[5KidsRacing]

Hopefully it will! You want to get all the polish out of the bore. You use the polish to smooth the bore, but that is it's only job. After it is done you want to use alcohol and get it ALL out.

IMHO its a must if you want to make it to the next level.

John says leave the 2nd polish in this post

I agree, leave the 2nd polish.... Novus 2 is not a 2nd polish. Novus 2 is a product that can be used as a 1st polish and if it were left in the bore it would not be good.

Maybe it is just a terminology misunderstanding...

If the original question is will running alcohol through the bore after polishing with bore polish #2 remove the polish? Then the answer is yes it will....

 

[Quicktimederby]

I think what 5kids, and myself are saying, is all the #1, #2polish needs to be removed. When you use polish correctly it's the plastic that shines not the polish. If you have any polish or polish residue in the wheel bore the graphite will be attracted to it and cause clumping or inconsistency of the graphite in the wheel bore. So yes polish the crap out of your bores just make sure you get it all out, ie alcohol.

In Johns post he use's a different method, by useing the polish to help burnish the graphite into the hub bore. I would guess he know's a little about it. I haven't use graphite for the past year, hate the stuff. I would definitly use his process if he says it will rock it will!

Rook.. definitely worth the money.. The video is much more than oil.. I will tell you this if you are an observant person the video has tons more than the words and lessons taught..
