Track prep, polish etc...

[~JBD RACING~]

I have a single line track. I was wanting to do some work on it to make it better... I thought about wet sanding my track. I have done my joints already. J was then gonna polish it with mother billet. Then add pledge. I would love any suggestions what some of you guys have do e to your track or what John has done to the league track ??
Thanks JBD racing

I used Eagle One Nevr-Dull Wadding Polish first and then Mothers Billet (procedure courtesy of CGS).... I just have to blow off the dust to use the track and it looks just as good as the day I polished it... The Eagle One is really good stuff, but it will take some time and muscle to get it all polished.

You can find it at auto parts stores...

I just wet sanded it with 2000 grit. I will never polish a track again as long as I live! It never seems to come all the off.

John,
what do you use for cleaning the track before a race?

 

[Mr Chips Racing]

Pledge and a clean cloth. Those of us live have done this hundreds of times.

Are you gettin ready?

On my test track I just made sure the joints were perfect and rail all the way down. Clean with pledge and a rag works great!!

I just polished my 42 foot 4 lane best track yesterday. It wasn't to bad. It took me 4 hours. I used a bottle of polish called Dry Wash. worked well. I didn't go for the mirror finish, just brighten it up some. I prefer dry wash over any other polish Ive ever used. I truly don't like the wadding polishes. As far as mothers, wenol, never dull, and so on. I believe the dry wash is superior. Thats just my opinion

Anyone try Dri Wash since this post several years ago?

I tried Mothers and Eagle on one of my stop sections and I already know I don't want to try to get that stuff off my entire track.

Wondering if the Dri Wash is any easier to apply & remove. If not, will just keep track as is.

Thanks, Steve. This stuff easy to get back off? I don't want to fight a residue.

The deoxidizer you simply wipe on. The Purple polish turns black as you polish. its the most difficult but I found you don't need to remove all of it. Step 3 is the sealer... it removes the residue from the Purple polish and leaves a sealant.

My track is easier to wipe and keep clean than ever. Buy a box of gloves and a bag of rags.

No... just a clean thick microfiber towel.
