Hello,

What is the best thing to use for cleaning paintwork on a live steam locomotive? A car polish, perhaps?

Thanks,

Mark

I always use WD40.

It cleans off all the muck and leaves a nice finish wich protects againts corrosion.

It also works well on all the bright work because it disperses water.
