RAILS: TO GLEAM, OR NOT TO GLEAM?

my first post. <br />A while back I read postings suggesting the use of Mothers Mag Polish (available at auto parts stores). Applied the stuff to my N scale track and have been running clean for a month now. Before doing this I had to clean my track constantly. Anything that causes abrasion seems to be a bad idea (sorry briteboy) and cleaning solutions (I was using alchohol) results in tarnished rails that only have to be cleaned again. With the poli***reatment done I just give the rails a light wipe every so often to keep dust off, everything is running quite smooth. I have to admit though, as my tiny pike is a section of C&NW's Alco line through South Dakota waxy grades are not much of an issue. <br /> <br />Clean loco wheels are manditory and this system seems to help with that as well.
