(NO SOLICITATION). If you're looking to BUY or SELL something, go to the MERCHANDISE SECTION.

What do my fellow caped crime-fighters use to clean light scuffs and soil from their leather utility belts?

Last post

Use a small amount of polish and let it rest for a bit after.

I use a solvent to wipe the metal down prior to spraying to remove any grease or wax.
