1.  I've never enjoyed so much time running trains before the 'gleam' method.2.  I will somehow do a traction test, to present data for those who are curious.3.  Stainless Steel doesn't leave particles that can rust.4.  Please, Do a search on 'gleam' to see how it's done, and to see all mixed reviews from those who have tried.5.  This is a new idea; no one said it was the best idea.6.   This is not a product; it is a method, free to all modelers and guitarists.(Frets!)7.   The method contours the rail head to prototype shape. It removes mill marks from extrusion, and other imperfections. It also seals pores with the rail's own metal. More shine=more metal.8.   Posssibly using metal polish with abrasives knock off some of the edge of the rail head, giving a slight contour, and removes some imperfections. This will increase shine, traction, electrical contact.9. Still a young subject, more info will develope in time. I look forward to this because we're all helping each other.10.  No offense taken.
