What is the best route to go? We have historically left the wood around the axle hole unpainted, then rubbed in graphite. This year, I was planning on burnishing the wood w/ a spoon to harden/polish it, leaving it unpainted and adding graphite like normal. I read here a recommendation to put enamel nail polish on the body. So, which is best?

TIA,Our rules dictate four-wheels touching and running flat (no canting), and graphite.
We have set up our cars as somewhat of rail-runners: The front track width is the minimum 1-3/4", with the rear wheels outset to the max 2-3/4" width (this is done by sanding 1/16" off the body at the front wheels, and adding popsicle sticks to the rears). This is to prevent the rear wheels from ever coming in contact with the center rail.
