Using Armor All on a Vintage Tolex case?
This is my first post – sorry if it is a topic already covered. I have a vintage Fender (1964-65) tolex electric guitar case that I am restoring. I am debating whether or not I should clean the Tolex with Armor All. I’ve done that on other Toex cases – the result is the Tolex usually looks darker black and has a kind of wet look, and it also becomes more slippery (which I don’t like very much). Sometime down the road I may resell this case and I wondered if using Armor All will adversely affect it’s value. Any thoughts?
Answering my own post here – a friend turned me on to some leather conditioner that did a nice job on my older case. It is called Lexol – made for use on horse saddles. Locally I bought it at a store called Tractor Supply Co. I have also used it on tolex-covered amps. It does not have that wet look after it dries, and it doesn’t attract dust like Armor All does. Hope that will help somebody.
