It's funny that your last post is exactly what I did. I went out and bought the Flitz (they didn't have MAAS) and I tried to wrap the end of my finger with a cloth. The Flitz got on the ties and balast and was a mess. I took the cloth and wrapped it around my bright boy, I'll use a block of wood next time, and did just what you discribed with great results. My trains ran great. I also put a small amount on a cloth and laid it over the rails with the polish side up. I then placed one truck of a locomotive over it and run it for a short time while I held the locomotive. Then I fliped it around and did the other truck. The wheels were bright and shinny. <br /> <br />There is no left over residue on the rails after you use the clean dry cloth to do the final polish. When you first put the polish on the rails look hazy and the polish cream turns from blue to black. But after you run the clean cloth over them they get shinny like chrome.
