aldash Posted January 21, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 21, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Are there recommendations for applying some agent to the coverings of the old LTM cameras that will bring back the moderate shine and color? Hopefully, it would not do any harm, and would give some protection against drying out and fading. I once applied "Armor All" to the grungy vinyl top of a station wagon, where the black pebbly color had minor sun damage and was turning gray. It did an amazing job of bringing back the black color and adding some moderate shine. The results lasted for a long time, even through bad weather. However, is it safe to use on the vulcanite of the LTM cameras? Alan Dash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted January 21, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 21, 2014 I'd imagine it might make the camera feel slippy and tacky (if that's possible at the same time!). There have been suggestions re this in the past - have you tried using the search function? Probably best to search under Vulcanite which is the name of the material.

BillMcD Posted January 22, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 22, 2014 I have used Neatsfoot Compound marketed by Blue Ribbon Products with great success as recommended in the FAQ on both my LTM and M3 coverings. Applied sparingly with Q-tip works very well. Also recommended for any leather products too. An 8 oz bottle will last a lifetime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
