I admit, I was skeptical at first. I've always been a Brightboy user on my track and never really tried any other chemical/solvent cleaners. But after getting increasingly frustrated at how poorly even my brand new locomotives were running, I decided to give this technique a try. In just an hour of cleaning my mainline track, the locomotives that I'd relegated to a sidetrack for "permanent storage" because they ran so poorly are now running more smoothly than any locomotive I've ever run anywhere. It's truly been a game-changer for me and my layout! Thank you Ron!!!!!

I concur with those who suggest that this be nominated as "Tip of the Year." I did what Ron suggested and slow-speed performance improved immediately on my N layout. Thank you, Ron!

This WORKS. I tried it on a section of my track and the difference is amazing. Locos now go so smoothly and also slowly if required. I am extremely happy, how long it will last is yet to be determined, but even if i have do the procedure once a month, so what, the improvement in running is so great. Thank you so much.

I had a couple of track sections on my new layout whereby the engine stopped and stuttered. I checked the voltage before and after the section and it right on 15v. Looking at the track, it appeared cleaned. So I saw your vid, Ron, and ordered both products from Amazon. After receiving them, I got to work applying and rubbing them as directed. AND, the engine is now happy with those two sections! Amazing that the track looked good but failed until really cleaning them. Thanks for a very helpful vid. Cheers, Bob

Something I learnd with slot cars. Get a large pencil eraser and rub it against the track and vacuum the dust. Done. No chemicals or abrasive.

Great information, thanks. I have to admit I time warped back to every time my father was explaining a process to me about a repair or maintenance procedure involved to properly execute a task and how I just wanted him to cut to the chase. I love you Dad, thanks.
