I've been using it for about 10 years -- I'm almost halfway down my first bottle.
One trick is to wrap your cloth around a solid block. It's easier to run along the rails.
I got a lid with an eye-dropper in it from my drugstore. This makes it a lot easier to put small amounts where you need them.
Clean your wheels. I have a special length of track that I use. Put a paper towel over the rails and dribble a few inches of solution where the rails are. Run your car onto the towel, back and forth a few times. When you think the lines it makes are really black, move the towel sideways a smidgen. It sometimes helps to put sideways pressure on the wheels. (If your rails are black, your wheels are too.)
I use the CentreLine rail car. One of my friends uses a pair -- wet and dry.
If you take trains to run on another layout, it's courtesy to clean the wheels first. It's a sensible precaution to clean them again before putting them back on your layout.
