<P mce_keep="true">Hello from Semafore. I feel that you are correct. If you can't do all the travelled trackage, then partial gleam has little lasting benefit, since the wet/dry cars will only soil the burnished track. The luster will quickly diminish, the electrical resistance will incease, causing more arcing and the carbon build-up; the tractive effort will also decrease from the soil. (Back to square one.) Since the w/d cars will do all the track, then at least the track properties should be uniform. Sadly, a BURNISH CAR in not available at this time. Burnishing is a method I use as a dry-clean only. Old train-Ts make great wiping material.</P> <P mce_keep="true">Keep the faith, Bob!  May the next project incorporate the method. I am always learning more about it myself, as this issue is a mere 4-5 years old.</P>
