Great Video Chris! I use a similar process with the very fine sanding block but I follow mine up with WD40 and give it a good wide down. The WD40 does a really good job cleaning the Viper routed track and is how Viper recommends cleaning the track plus it helps prevent corrosion on the rails. I used WD40 on my AFX track as well.
Hi Chris, I have the same AFC Giant Raceway but expanded it to totally fit on a 5'x9' table, I use the same process but on the raised track I use a 12,000 grit micro paper works great. Great video keep them coming. Al
May I ask about the use of both Inox and WD 40 ? I have a newer Carrerra layout that has been expanded . I’m noticing dead spots where the brushes aren’t connecting well . Before I use something new, I’d like to hear what others have used that worked . Thank you for any help offered .
@@markmed9091 hey Mark, so many things have been used to clean tracks. The HO track rails are much different than yours but plastic is plastic. I felt the armor all cleaner was just easier and safer than any petroleum products on the plastic. For the rails I use a super fine grit sanding block. For your dead spots you might try a light sanding with 1000+ grit sand paper. Check in with Slot Valley Racing and see if he has any input on your dead spots.
Good work 👍🏻. I use sand paper also. Keep up the good work. Have a good one, slot cars for life.
For life

Thanks Al, 1200 grit is perfect !
I use armor all and the sand paper sponge works great and armor all protects the plastic also.
Hi chris .we're here in blue Ridge also. Over by Nicholson tire
Great Video Chris, thanks for the Armor all suggestion- I'm going to try that on the Electric Avenue Raceway!👍
I’ve incoperated my H/O race track into my American Flyer layout the best of both worlds!
That’s Awsome
I do the same type of thing. I have track that is 50 years old as well. I use the sanding block and then I followed up with 409 cleaner.
Good way to clean
Thanks for the tip Chris keep up the good work enjoying the videos
Thanks Shawn
I also use a can air blower like you would use to clean a computer keyboard to blow out the slots. Works very well.
Great idea Craig
Be Fun to ton see your setup
