small buffing wheel on my cordless dremel tool.

Works great.

Awesome idea!

I think that would take a steadier hand than my Coke-addled brain can
summon.  I wonder if a fingernail buffing stick would work (though, I
expect, a little bit more slowly!)

I tried nail polish remover on one piece and learned the hard way that ABS
melts in acetone!  Horrors!

Rubbing alcohol is similarly effective!  I've had limited success with
model wax, a compound available at hobby stores for buffing fine scratches
out of vinyl model kits.  This too, though, isn't especially quick to work.

    Dave!

Thanks for the input. Ill take a squiz around and see what works the best.
We've got a buffing wheel downstairs so I might give that a go.
