take a  standard "Q-Tip" and cut the stem in half so that you have 2 pieces. 
Take one  and insert it into the "chuck". Place a small amount of polish on 
the q-tip,  and turn the dremel on to the slowest speed. You can buff the nails 
out to a  really smooth finish with it.


I can spin it in the drill press while polishing with the dremel. Last year  
was our first try. We came in first out of 43. The old timers couldn't handle 
it  so they changed all the rules. It is sort of like sports and the parents 
and  kids. Should be interesting. At least it was good for buying a new drill  
press!
 
Right front wheel off the ground (less friction), Nails straightened in a  
little hammer powered press, Smaller tapered nail heads for less contact area,  
most of the front end cut away for center of gravity at the rear to push down  
untill the end of the slope, 1/2" tall at the thickest body part, Super  
streamlined, etc.
