I use denatured alcohol for this purpose Flitzs really works superior for this and lasts awhole lot longer as well trouble is, it gets into truck gears and strips the lubricant from them as well as this is a bit thicker than alcohol Lay a paper towel across test track if you got one (if not any straight away will do) dampen with alcohol at one end place loco on track and hold it with one truck on damp towel slowly turn up the power till wheels start spinnin hold for bout minute or so then turn loco around and do the other truck same way when done with each truck move to dry piece of towel and let loco wheels spin dry 10 -15 seconds or so repeat as necessary for entire fleet For cars same thing only need to dampen whole towel instead lay across piece of flextrack or whatever and roll cars back and forth over it transfer to dry towel roll a couple of times and Voila' your'e done!
