Clayton,

My CCW is a Makarov. I usually wipe it down with a silicon cloth after carry before storing it. When I holster and carry it, usually after about an hour when I pull it out the finish looks blotchy. The last time that I used Weapon Shield on it I used it on the outside of it as well. Wiped it back off well and stored it. Four days later I holstered it (in the same leather holster) and carried it. After wearing it for six hours I pulled it out and it still looked spotless. Apparently, I no longer need the silicon cloths. It appears Weapon Shield does a much better job of protecting the finish as well.
