    Swiffer duster once a day
    Great having a permanent setup when you’re complacent with a layout. Much less maintenance than temporary layouts constantly being handled and stored. I also have a car dryer with heated and filtered air that I use to remove dust from the slots and crevices between the rails. Helps using aftermarket urethane/silicone tires on all of your cars.

      Oh yea, I run the track daily, so I Swiffer every day. I also tape roll the tires before and after each run. It also helps to rest the running cars on a block to keep tires clean between runs.
      I'd like to hear more about your dryer setup...

    I have a 100' Carrera track. I use an old fashion string mop lightly damp. It only takes a few minutes, clean as a whistle.

    You will like the Inox when you start to use it. Just a few drops on the car braids will spread the Inox nicely. I have never applied directly to the rails and think that would be too much. I use the swifter dry cloths on my track as well. Good tip on the make-up applicators. I have a 4 lane digital track, so interested to have the cars do the rail polishing work.

      Chris...what is the advantage to using Inox?

      Cleans and improves conductivity. Works good on braids too.

      @@slotcarmayhem9765 So you put it on the braids only?

      Haven't used it yet, but I imagine a drop or two on each braid, and drive around should do the trick. I used to use automatic transmission fluid the same way in my HO days, and that worked very well. Still use ATF mixed with white toothpaste (???) To help break in gears on cars, but thats another story, lol

    I clean my track by letting all my slot club friends practice on it for 30 minutes first before race night. They pick up all the lint and dust on their tires, then I go ahead and run my cars on a nice clean surface.

    I have found that lint rollers work great for cleaning track and cars tires also.
