[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by cmrproducts</i> <br /><br />Nieuweboer <br /> <br />Just about any metal poli***hat is used to clean/polish silver will work. <br /> <br />And yes it has to be applied by hand, but then you only have to do it once a year. At least that is what I did but probably would not have had to as the engines were still operating very well. <br /> <br />One thing that happens after the use of the polish is that you do not have to clean the engine wheels as often. Maybe once every 3 months or so. I have over 700 cars on the layout and I am slowly replacing the car wheels with metal ones. I am not finding any real buildup of dirt on the plastic wheels now that I have used the metal polish. <br /> <br />As far as applying the polish, I just use an old piece of cork roadbed and put the polish on the cork and rub it on the rails. I do a spot about 5 to 10 feet long and then use a clean piece of cork to rub the rails to clean the dried polish off. It only takes a few seconds to put the polish on and then remove it. It does not have to be done with any precision. Just get it on and then get off. <br /> <br />BOB H Clarion, PA <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Bob, I like your method and am going to give it a try. What brand polish have you been using?
