DETAILS
Rail Zip / After Run
High-Tech Corrosion Inhibitor & Electrical Conditioner
Rail Zip is a concentrated, high-tech corrosion inhibitor designed to penetrate oxidation layers and restore electrical conductivity. Whether you are maintaining a complex model railway layout or protecting a high-performance nitro engine, Rail Zip ensures your equipment remains rust-free and functionally reliable. It works chemically rather than mechanically, allowing it to treat hard-to-reach contacts with ease.
Key Benefits:
- Restores Conductivity: Penetrates existing corrosion on tracks and connectors to eliminate arcing and sparking.
- Engine Protection: Acts as a premium “After Run” oil, neutralising corrosive fuel residues that cause internal engine rust during storage.
- Long-Term Integrity: A single application provides a protective barrier that lasts for months, even in damp garages or sheds.
Targeted Applications
Model Railways
A staple for the model rail community. Rail Zip keeps tracks clean and ensures constant electrical connection across the entire layout. By eliminating micro-arcing, it protects your locomotives’ sensitive electronics and ensures smooth, jitter-free operation.
RC Nitro Engines (After Run Oil)
Model glow fuels contain chemicals that can become highly corrosive once the engine stops. Adding a few drops of Rail Zip into the carburettor or spark plug hole after a session protects bearings, sleeves, and crankshafts from pitting and corrosion. It is the insurance policy your engine needs for winter storage.
Automotive & Workshop
Perfect for trailer light plugs, motorcycle connectors, and fuses to ensure solid electrical paths on the road. It is also an excellent general-purpose protectant for garden machinery, such as chainsaws and lawnmowers, and can be used to coat metal pushrods or bike cables to prevent seizing.
Pro-Tips for Application
- Precision Reach: Use Zap Flexi-Tips or Z-Ends to apply Rail Zip into tight engine ports or deep electrical housing units without mess.
- Tool Maintenance: Wipe down the metal surfaces of hand tools kept in sheds or garages with a thin film of Rail Zip to prevent surface orange rust.
- Winterisation: When storing small two-stroke engines for the season, a small amount in the cylinder will keep the rings from seizing against the cylinder wall.
