I have not tried the following recommended procedure. Rolling stock plastic wheels, on a saturated old T-shirt with methanol(methyl alcohol) on a track, roll you car back & forth. Some other solvents contain lacquer thinner that will soften and distort some types of plastic wheels. Diesel wheels, again T-shirt soaked with commercial alcohol, lay on power track with power on. Place one truck set at a time on cloth, power up loco to spin wheels on cloth. When one set done, turn loco around to do other truck. There are many solvents to do cleaning jobs. Water soluble type, Alcohols and slow solvents, Fast solvents. Goo gone is used but MUST be wiped off, otherwise too much slippage. Clean track/wheels is absolutley manatory for superior electrical conductivity and is a time consuming job.
