We'd then let them "simmer" on top of an old oil-fired furnace that was warm, not hot, for about an hour. The heat just really helped the Pledge bond a bit better to the paint. After time was up, buffing it with a soft cotton cloth would make it look brand new. When coupled with our paint touch-up method, you couldn't tell the difference.
That's awesome! Would you use the same method for the plastic rolling stock?
