I have been looking around here for a while and was wondering if any of you fast guys use this trick in wheel prep. I just found this video on you tube and thought it might be a good thing to ask. Just a little curious is anyone else a graphite packer   |

I would think if you pack ultra fine graphite like that you'll end up with a caking effect. Just a little goes a long way. I would have to believe he builds a slow car.
