Apparently CRC 2-26 is not available in Canada. I searched the CRC Canada website and they showed the product, but when I clicked on the 'Where To Buy' icon it said that no stores carry the product. If it is in aerosol containers I doubt that it can be shipped across the border.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
CRC makes CRC
https://www.crcindustries.com/
They have scores of specialty chemicals for industry and commercial use.
I believe the 2-26 is available at some Big-Box stores and maybe auto parts stores. The 2-26 fluid is usually in aerosol cans but my former employer bought some for me in a pump sprayer that I like to decant into 1 ounce needle-point applicators. I can get into motor bearings and axle end points with the needle tipped bottle.

CRC 2-26???, Can you tell me who makes this solution???
Wd40 leave a film that will attract dust in the long run.
My club uses CRC 2-26. Now only need to clean track where work has occured.

I really don't have much problem with keeping track clean. I'll occasionally run a CMX fluid drip using mineral spirits around the main maybe once every six months.
I have read several discussions about contact cleaners and have found the one suggested most often is the CRC 3140 in the green can. I have sometimes used it for spot cleaning trackwork.
I have never used anything that leaves behind any film or oil. Some swear by transmission fluid, Flitz, Whal Clipper Oil, Goo Gone (!) and who knows what else.
For contact areas on locomotives and passenger car pickups I use De-Oxit and/or CRC 2-26.
Good Luck, Ed
Happy Easter MRRDERS. I was talking to a good friend of mine, who's a great modelrailroader about the perfect track cleaning solution (ie WD40 RADIO SHACK)he told me that he used a spray conrol/contact cleaner lubricate on his track, after he used it, he said that his locos ran like brand new, no sputtering, no stopping, no having "THE HAND OF GOD" moving the locos!! What do you guys n gals think of this idea, I'm sure you would have to be careful of any acid or chemical reaction to the track, but what is your reaction, inquirering minds want to know! LOL
