I wanted my coaster to preserve it's speed, so I look at the "Guide to preserving speed. It said to use WD-40, but I did not have that in my house.

Then I remembered that I lubricated my rubik's cube (Yes, I can solve those) with Vaseline....So I thought why go out and buy WD-40 and instead try using Vaseline?

It works wonderfully.

Good you didn't use Wd-40 it eats away plastic, so it is actually bad for your cars...
I thought of Vaseline...

I might try vaseline, because the silicone spray that I have doesn't work.

Edit: Do ^^you have VV or SS?

Powdered graphite works well.

^^^^Your not the only one who can solve them. There are many on ssc that can.

Also I believe vaseline does eat away at plastic too. Also try lubricating your rubiks cubes with silicone.

I build ss just click on the rides made tag over wher you see location and poats and you can see them. ^^yeah grifite works realy well that is what I use, you can get it at any hobbie shop.

Seems like Vaseline could eventually become very gunky after drying.

Also, you could use pledge.

Yeeeeeeaahhhhhh. Word to ya motha.

On topic, I use pledge, and it seems to work fine. Simple cooking oil is less efficient.

Cooking spray works quite well when your out of resources

I can solve them too I use Gigolo. It's a sillicone-based spray. I don't know if you know this product...

[/\ero]

I use pledge. I have tried vaseline but you have to get just the right amount or it will either be to sticky or have little effect on the train.
