I don’t know this particular cleaner, but if the loco wheels are completely freewheeling, the conductive cleaning brushes won’t drive them. But they need to be clean, as they pick up the current to drive the motor in the tender.

My method is to use a brass rotary wire brush in a 12V drill to polish wheel rims.
The friction usually turns the wheels to make the job quick.
