    Default Holster marks?

    Anyone else run into this problem: Walking around the house, you happen to bump against a door frame, wall etc, and you get a nice white streak on your leather holster from the paint.

    Anyone find a good way to remove the paint without removing the holster finish? A little shoe polish helps, but doesn't really remove the paint.

    Thanks!

    if it's water based paint, I'd try a little soap and water, oil based, try a bit of car wax or a solvent with a Q-tip.

    I'd try Lexol or Leatherique products. They have both cleaners and conditioners for leather. I think Lexol might be less intrusive on any finishes or dyes on the leather.

    I second the Lexol.

    I second that! Add "elbow grease" as required.
