clean track

I cleaned my N scale layout with hand for two days straight, it worked for about four days then everything returned to what it had been before. I am very frustrated, slightly depressed and is actually considering selling my stuff. I thought this was suppose to be fun...:mad: Please help!!! Brandon

Well my ebay purchases are coming in and I have a lot of rusty track to clean up. I know scotch bright works great but I would like to know if any of you have tips on speeding up the process? Thanks. :thumbsup:
