Pinewood Derby Bore Polishing Swabs – 24 Pack
Polish your pinewood derby wheel bores to achieve maximum race speed.
During manufacturing, wheel bores and hubs are left with a rough inner surface that creates unwanted friction. To get the smoothest roll possible, you’ll need to polish those bores with a plastic polish and the right tool. These cotton-spun polishing swabs are designed specifically for that purpose.
✅ Use at LOW RPM (0–600 only). Higher speeds create excessive heat that can damage your wheels.
✅ Simply dip the swab tip into polish, insert into the bore, and spin slowly.
✅ No more pinching needed – these swabs are sized to fit snugly inside the bore.
✅ Each pack includes 12 swabs, which can be cut in half to create 24 polishing swabs – enough for several sets of wheels.
Why These Swabs Work Best
-
Industrial strength cotton – tighter and denser than supermarket swabs, so they don’t fray or shred when wet.
-
Perfect bore fit – slightly oversized so the cotton compresses to polish the entire bore surface evenly.
-
Proven design – far superior to pipe cleaners for polishing, delivering a near mirror finish when paired with a quality bore polish
Notes
-
Do not use these swabs for wax or sealant. For that step, use fluffy pipe cleaners or microfiber swabs.
-
Great for precision tasks too – like paint detailing, applying decals, or fine striping on your pinewood car.
