I would use this method but in the age of Covid - it would be cheaper and quicker if I brought the No Ox and paid the shipping.....
Actually, any good strong Vodka would likely have the same effect.....and there would be no concerns with "leftovers."
I haven't tried this but look for dielectric grease. Here in the US they sell it in small single-use packets for $1 at auto parts stores, for use when replacing car headlight bulbs. It is a little more watery than the No Ox can but the product description is the same.
Looks like the no-ox in the tub is a paste? The no-ox I have is in a bottle. Would not think putting grease on the tracks would be good?
So I'm looking at listings for "No-Ox-Id A Special" and from what I can tell it isn't a cleaning solution so much as it is a conductive grease. How is that supposed to be good for your track and or wheels?

Another thread from here on TB about cleaning dirty wheelsets and track...enjoy... https://www.trainboard.com/highball/index.php?threads/dirty-wheel-issues.131232/
I have used that stuff for a long time on automotive connections/switches. I started on 6 volts systems and HD/tractor magnetos.
