I usually hang out over on the Dirtrunners subforum, but since the weather's starting to turn toward winter, I pulled out my Carrera Evolution track set the other day and set up a layout on the basement floor. Cleaned the junk out of the slots and gave the track a quick dust-off and cleaned up the cars real quick to get a test-drive in. I could hardly keep the cars on the track, even though I freshly cleaned the tires w/ rubbing alcohol. Then I remembered - I had a brain fart when I was putting the track away last year, grabbing the wrong spray bottle. You guessed it, I cleaned it with armor-all instead of simple green/alcohol. Then forgot about it. Don't laugh.
Okay, you can laugh.
So, now that I know why the track is so slick, any good easy ways to clean up this mess, or am I just going to have to resign myself to several applications of rubbing alcohol and towels? What's the best way to clean the track that doesn't degrade the plastic or bring down the grip?
