I use Ballistol for everything. Have for decades. Never been disappointed. It is so safe solvent wise you can use it on living plants and they love it. Not that I have any plants that need tending like that...
I just happen to have on a set of 40yr. old Chippewa boots that have seen nothing but Ballistol for maintenance and they are as waterproof and supple as the day I bought them,and they have had to walk through this white slop most of their life..
