How to clean Aristocraft power pickup wheels

All the products mentioned so far remind me of the days under the railway arches....oh happy days ;)
I use IPA, both types one for my locos and one for my tummy....sometimes I confuse the two ..but I have got no crud in the gut!! :rolf:

I agree with not using abrasives if possible - the thin chrome layer will wear off soon enough anyway but abrasives will speed the process. I have succesfully used meths and a j cloth for the last few years.

My meths has just run out and now I'm going to use isopropylalcohol. This has been recommended to me by a guy who repairs 00 locos for a living. He also uses it to remove transfers. Sounds like pretty useful stuff.

How do you get it? From your local chemists but they will probably have to order it for you.

Cheaper isopropylalcohol from here (high delivery costs though): http://www.nu-careproducts.co.uk/infection.htm
