Hey Mike,
My son got into this last year and I found suprisingly a lot of adults were into derby cars too. I used a dremel tool by insterting the axles into the chuck and using fine polishes and a piece of cloth to get the mirror finish. Then we polished again using graphite on a piece of cloth. We tried several different weighting methods. Drilling a hole and filling with lead to get the weight allowed worked best. It was fun for both of us.
