I have several cars with masonite pads which are simply a part of the trains I run. When I find the track really dirty, after a summer of not doing much railroading, I wrap two small wooden blocks about the length of the track road bed with strips of blue shop towel, the same width. Then, I wet one of the towel blocks with Goo Gone. I rub this block over the rail heads of about a 3 foot length of track. Then I take the dry block and remove the residue left by the Goo Gone. After I've cleaned as much as I can get to, I put new towels on the blocks and wet them out with Wahl's Clipper Oil. I haven't tried the Flitz or Maas polish yet, but will some time. I would use this in lieu of the Wahl's. <br />
