Previous modelers have stated that the KD black finish eventually wears off(on to the track) but IMO that could take a long time. I'm running KD box cars and there are still traces of black on the wheels.This is one of the reasons modelers choose Proto sets. Remember, axle sets are not all created equal and come in various lengths. P2K, 1.008, IM 1.013, KD 1.018 ( Thanks Nigel) <br /> <br />There may be merit in using GOO GONE. If so, saturate a cotton cloth(old t-shirt) lay it across the tracks and roll the car back & forth. Follow up removing Goo Gone with a treated cloth of Isopropyl <br />rubbing alcohol <br /> <br />Anything stronger , you run the risk of getting the removal on the car finish. I'm sure there are better ideas out there. Lets hear from you.
