Holster Care Question

Lloyd in Nevada · 06-03-2004, 06:23 PM

Gentlemen,

Thanks for your input! I have looked at the previous discussions on this forum and other forums (about leather cleaning/preserving etc.) but I don't see anything that exactly addresses my question or inquiry. I am trying to figure out after all the leather cleaning and preserving one performs on a leather holster (and I am speaking about a holster that NEEDS atteniton) if there is a way to give it the nice sheen or semi glossy finish you see on well preserved specimens?? The article in Auto Mag caught my attention because it seemed to be addressing that final leather touch I was interestd in. The holster in question is again nice and clean and supple but it just has a very dull/matte appearance. Am I looking for a result that cannot be achieved on a old well used but not abused holster? THANKS!
