Clean metal part of track?
#6

Hi Tony

I refurbed a load of classic track from my loft using small abrasive wheels on a dremel (so similar to the kitchen pad but with less elbow grease) finished off with a wipe over with Imox. Used Grey, red and green if that's correct order to get a real shine on them.

Tried a couple of methods before deciding on this - 

Track in a dishwasher - deffo cleaned the track (only tried this to see what happened, but the rust set in everywhere)
Wiped rails with brasso - on the few bits I did cleaned and polished but left the pitting in place.

It's not been used much since I did it and stored in a lidded plastic container box, and it still looks as good as the day I did it.

Don't make the same mistake I did initially though and cover the whole track in Imox, it's slippy stuff and lasts forever!!  Bigsmile
