There is a good YouTube video out there about cleaning track and Polar vs Non-Polar cleaning products. I maintain a couple of permanent layouts that are stored indoors at the venue without environmental controls. These layouts exclusively use stainless steel Gargraves track in these somewhat extreme environments. I still had problems with dirty track until I started using CRC 3140 - Electrical Contact Cleaner & Protectant. Spray some on a cloth and wipe the track clean, less micro arcing, and now I clean the track about once every three years. This video also mentions that using abrasives on your track like sand paper or scotch-bright pads create tiny scratches in the surface of the track your track which can promote electrical micro-arcing.
