Care and feeding for old holsters

I start with a good saddle soaping. I use a shaving brush, and a soft cloth, like an old T shirt. Lather the holster up, wait 5 mins. then gently wipe it down. Do this again, but this time let the lather dry, usually overnight. Take the residue off with a soft shoe brush, and/or wipe down with the cloth.

Then I use Fiebings 'Care-4". Now, they call this '4-Way'. It's a combination of saddle soap, lanolin,
bees wax, and lexol. I spray this on inside and out, wait 10 min. then do a gently wipe down. Let dry, repeat. Then repeat the 'Care-4' again yearly, depending on your storage climate.

Never use a silicone based product on hard shell luger holsters
