Isn't Scalextric nickel-plated and not stainless? If so, I'd be careful with too much of an abrasive treatment.

there used to be a commercial available track cleaner pad ("T" shaped) which attatched to the front of your slot car. AJ's, I think.

That scotch brite scourer pad is perfect i suggest you cut it into narrow strip just less than the width of the two tracks and them rub the rails with it then protect with wd40 or inox At the end of your play session cover the track with some cotton sheets it will absorb most of the moisture in the air protecting your rails

I just cleaned my track with scotchbrite (scouring pads) good for a week but will do so daily after the racing from here on out.

Just came upon your videos as I am looking at designing a small Scalextric track. My family usually plays a bit of Scaley every Christmas 😊. Thanks for the video and comprehensive information.

Could you help out a grandpa with 7 grandkids for this Christmas by telling me which sets you bought on eBay and any extra pieces you added. I'm wondering if the Dunplo walk over was also included? Thanks.

Hello, The last circuit I utubed is my present one. I found that the first attempt was to complicated for people to follow and the track kept getting knocked and damage. Once you Put in scenery and keep the track to just 2 levels it makes life easier. One more tip, polish the track rails a) to stop rust if in a shed like mine and b) it speeds up the Cars by about 10 or 15 percent.

Great test! Very clear what each method does. Question: after polishing with Autosol, how long did it take to become tarnished again and requiring another polishing?

Thanks for the Autosol recommendation! I've been cleaning track that I bought on ebay with some track cleaning rubbers, and the Autosol is brilliant for that last bit of cleaning, and makes the cars slide over the rails super smoothly.

Stickies was an excellent idea! I have always been reluctant to colour the the whole track in various colours for each lane. It's helpful, but doesn't look good. But stickies like that will do the trick!

I use 3M red scrubby pads for the rails, works great. Then clean the entire track with spray 409. Spray the paper towels first, then rub...

THOMAS FISKE thanks for the advice. Is this the pad - www.cleaningproducts.net/3m-general-purpose-scouring-pad-red.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwq_vWBRACEiwAEReprKAoqeYqNVaYmMioDKggHlkKy0e2UgmtJj5wc7glYWQXno207lj5RhoCbxAQAvD_BwE 409 cleaning solution seems a US product. Do you know of any other solutions which may be better available in the UK? Richard

I'm looking for ideas to start an 8x4 track and so far your layout is by far the best i've seen, you've got a lot of track in a relatively small area and that's just what i need to begin with. Thanks for the idea.

Rusty Smith, glad you like it, had to go through quite a few tries but I really wanted to use as much track as possible without having to purchase specialised pieces. It's really important to try to lock the track down so that when you bend over to the far areas you don't move the track. I've used plaster of Paris sheets over the polystyrene and that works well and then I intend to cover the dried plaster of Paris with glue and use scatter grass to cover it along with model trees and bushes to give a more professional looking setup.
