polish. Clean them first so that there is no verdigris on them and then put a light coat of the was on them. After it drys, in a minute or two, buff the leather with a soft rag. I then just string mine on a leather thong I cut from a leather side that is 1/4 inch wide and about 3 1/2 feet long of 8 oz leather. The thong has already been treated with linseed oil and stretched and wiped down thoroughly so that it will not interact with the wax polish on the holsters. I don't do the inside of the holster as when you hang them up, keep them in a dry area without any excess moisture. Check them monthly to be sure that they are not drying out and cracking. Anything that starts to crack rub in some linseed oil and wait for the leather to swell and then put more wax polish on them. I have not had any problems with my holsters since I started preserving them this way. A local leather shop showed me how to set this up.
