...and a rapier and a dagger or two. :D I was just wondering if anyone detailed anything else around the house other than cars. I break out the PC and the Klasse AIO for a little bathtub cleaning every now and then. Detailer`s Pride has a great glass cleaner that I use on my shower doors too. For my swords I just use Wolfgang leather conditioner on the scabbards (at least the ones that are leather) and a little chrome polish on the areas that need it. This time I hit them with a little polycharged Four Star Spray Wax just to see how it held up. I hate dust collecting on the scabbards and I have had good luck with dust repellancy (is that a word?) with Polycharged products in the past. The rapiers aren`t a problem so much as the katanas that hang horizontal on the wall and are dust magnets.
Anyway, it shines them up nicely. :) I gotta post my pride and joy now. These were actually hand picked for me by the designer. I love anicely balanced rapier and this set is as nice as they come. I was a member of the USFA (US Fencing Association) for years before an injury and creeping arthritis in my knees forced me to retire from the sport. I havn`t found a salle in Utah that intrested me much since most of the fencing associations here are just university clubs, so I really have been out of touch for several years. Oh well... These beautys always remind me of the art that is renaissance fencing. There is nothing quite like having a weapon in both hands when you face your opponent. As the great samurai Miyamoto Musashi once said, it is no good to die with one sword uselessly sheathed at your side. If you have two hands, then you should have two blades in them. :)
