The only issue I have with shoe polish is that it will rub off onto your hands. After all, it is a wax. Shoe dyes work well, but you'll have to test it on the AE-1 since that covering is synthetic. As for the chrome, I have used Hoppes No 9 powder solvent with great success. (It's a gun cleaner) It leaves no residue in the engravings and removes even stubborn grime with a Q-tip and some elbow grease. Q-tips are what I use to remove the dust on the edges of the leather as well. No solvent, just a touch of moisture. |
