[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jecorbett</i> <br /><br />Flix does a great job of cleaning the top of the rails but it is very difficult to apply neatly to the tops without getting it on the ties and the side of the rail. If not cleaned completely off, it creates an unrealistic green tarnish on the sides of the rail. <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br />The success is in the application whether you use Flitz, MAAS or Mothers Mag Wheel cleaner. <br /> <br />As I have said many times over & over again take a piece of 100% cotton t-shirt material and cut it <br />into 5" or 6" strips, 2 " wide and wrap it around a retired brite boy. <br /> <br />Apply the cleaner to the longest edge and drag across the rail heads. This way the BB fits between the forefinger & thumb( a good fit) and doesn't mess up your ballast & scenery. <br /> <br />Let slighty dry and then with an un-treated piece of t-shirt material, again wrapped around the BB, <br />wipe off.. Its simple. <br /> <br />I also use MAAS to clean my loco pick-up wheels, steam & diesel but a different application process. <br /> <br />THANKS MR JAN. 2003
