How to clean an oxidised or rusty slot car track

Hi everyone, in this Video I wanna show you how I cleaned my strongly oxidised slots from a used Scalextric Sport Track. My track has not been rusty but if you have rust on your track the method is actually the same. Just make sure to wipe of all the rust after using the lowest grid sandpaper.

A good video! A little tip I would add is to screw a short piece of straight to a board and clamp the board to the table. You can the plug the track piece into the straight and stop it moving about while you clean it.

Thank you, great idea. There is always something to improve! :)

This video on how to remove oxidation works but it's a lot of work on a large track. The easy painless solution is to use model railway solution called RAIL ZIP. RAIL ZIP removes very heavy oxidation through a chemical reaction. Leave it on overnight and just wipe off the next day. I've been using Rail Zip on my tracks since 1968.
