WOW your good!!!! I can't imagine how you got all that dark staining off the jockeys and fenders of the caldwell!!!!! I just used the heavy duty wire brush and roughed it all up. It took a lot of work with it being rubbed out so much. It's not a job for the faint of heart - it looks worse before it looks bertter, LOL. Ok - so, please educate me a bit more on the Caldwell's miracle juice .... how do you use it? Can I work it into rough out?
I've got my fenders fairly clean with sand paper, a stiff dish brush, and lots of warm soapy water followed by clean water and a towel rub. Can I use the Caldwell's after that ...or?
Thanks much!! The Caldwell Miracle Juice won't rot stitching like Neatsfoot oil will.
I used the Miracle Juice on my rough out fenders and I will say I was kind of scared but they turned out great. I would never use any other oil on my roughout fenders. I put the oil in a small spray bottle and spritzed it on. You want light applications and let dry in between and don't ever put your saddle in the sun to dry. Make sure it is in the shade.
For the rest of the saddle I used a small piece of sheepskin and applied light applications until it was where I wanted it.
Great! Thanks for the help and direction |

All saddles. I have used it on a Caldwell, Ed and Martha Wright and an Ammerman and will be using it on a Jackie Jatzula soon. |

Rough out your roughout before putting oil on it.
SG taught me this..  |

Did you use the miracle juice everywhere? Did it not darken any part? |

It will stain your jeans if you over oil it. My Caldwell was doing this...I washed it down with Leather Therapy wash and kept washing until the water was running clear..I used a hose. Once it dried in the shade, I started putting thin applications on it until I felt I had enough. That ended the stained jeans. |
