Pablo Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 What kind of rub in oil do you recommend for leather holster exteriors? I now have some new and used holsters - and want to treat the outer surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I ruined an expensive holster once with neatsfoot oil. Oils tend to soften the leather---which you don't want in a holster. I've had good luck with good ole shoe polish over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I did three coats of brown shoe polish wax. VERY nice results. One Bianchi holster was set for the garbage can it was so nasty. I cleaned and degrimed it with the worry I may be doing irreparable harm. It came clean and dried nicely but still looked very rough. The wax darkened it just a bit, but worthwhile trade - each coat after polishing took away visible scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Lets hope that shoe polish doesn't rub off on your clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
