I flipped mine axles so they are "reverse rotation". Then ground all the crap off. Gives you a tad more clearance and leaves the top all shiny and pretty.

When you are done you can use a fine grit sand paper and then hit it will some jewelers rouge. I just use the polishing pads with the dremel and you can get about 70% of the shine back. May even help you a bit on the rocks.
