Pacer Technology (Zap) Rail-Zip 2 Track Cleaner and Corrosion Inhibitors, 1 oz

Does exactly what we need on both Lionel fast track and outdoor g scale brass track.

Tried several track cleaning products. BY FAR THIS IS THE BESTTRACK CLEANING PRODUCT. My train layout is exposed to highhumility and 100 degrees temperatures. Using Rail Zip mytrains run without any issues.

I have been using this product on Schuco Disneyland monorail brass track for over 22 years. I put a very small amount on all the contact points on the monorail, and then run it on the track at full speed. I have found this method useful in gaining good electrical contact between the train and the track. Rail Zip also keeps the brass from tarnishing as quickly, again. When I first receive the track, which is now over 50 years old, I have to spend at least 15 minutes cleaning just one piece. I do NOT use Rail Zip to clean the track. I use a yellow Perfect track cleaner/eraser. However, the Rail Zip, when applied as mentioned above after cleaning, keeps me from having to do the time consuming "detarnishing" of the track again, even after 22 years of usage at dozens of train shows where I display the monorails operating. Of course, I also use Rail Zip on my permanent layout at home with the same great results. I also use it on my vintage Aurora race track, but find its best usage on the Schuco Disneyland monorails.

This product works almost as well as their original Zap A Gap product.

The media could not be loaded.  I maintain three, elevated, G scale model train lines on 2 sets which run 7 hrs/day, 7 days/wk in a farm market. Humidity, dust from refrigeration compressor units and the general hustle and bustle of a farm market I use 3M type A, very fine, finishing sponge to scrub my rails clean and then a quick wipe with the Rail-Zip 2 on a fresh, clean piece of sponge. The locomotives and cars pick up the light layer on their wheels and spread it down my rails for me. The next day when I scrub them clean, the dirt comes off very easily and I finish with another light wipe of a few drops of Rail-Zip 2.

Over all it’s helped keep the tracks clean and not rust or anything but after using this product I recommend to use peco track cleaner after that you only need it once or twice. I feel like it’s for heavily cleaning but once it’s just dust and dirt use alcohol or peco track cleaner or a mix I hope this was helpful also use sewing Machine oil

Does a nice job of removing oxidation on track. Amazed at how much came off the track.

A track conductivity necessity for me.
