I recently saw a YouTube demonstration for a track cleaning product called "Track Magic" from Delux Materials. Have any of you tried this track cleaning solution? Do you know if it's similar to the "Track & Rail Cleaner" that is sold thru MicroMark? That product claims it cleans and leaves "a non-slippery conductive coating for improved electircal contact" and is "excellant with DCC and sound systems".
Would like to know your experience with this product if any. Thanks.

Another track cleaning product. I've never heard of it. A quick search doesn't turn up an MSDS, to see what the ingredients are.
I'll stick with 91% alcohol or lacquer thinner.
Good luck, let us know how it works.
Mike.
EDIT: Looking at the product again, I see that Deluxe Materials is in the UK, and it says that shipping restrictions won't allow it to be sent overseas, and ONLY to UK addresses.
It's all over Amazon, so how does that work?
Just wondering.

Hobbytown stores claim to carry the product. I guess they won't ship direct from the UK, but they can ship it to another retail outfit and you might find it there. The online reviews are favorable.
I use lacquer thinner from the hardware store in my CMX machine. That works great.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
I prefer Snake Oil.
Not only is it conductive, but it increases tractive effort by 48.7%. It reduces nickel-silver oxidation by 87.1%. And it actually polishes the track as the trains run.
And it's good on pancakes.

Just use rubbing alcohol. Most cleaning solutions are mostly alcohol anyway.
Ed,
Is this the stuff?
