Hello pipers.
I just finished doing a regular wipe down of all the guns in the safe with a gun cloth. Got me wondering if maybe the briar pipes on the rack could benefit from a wipe down as well.
I usually just give my briar pipes a nose oil buffing with my t-shirt whenever I'm smoking them and notice they are starting to look dull.
Not sure what kind of oil is in these cloths so I'm not sure if there could be any negative effects. Thoughts?
Here's the kind of cloth I'm talking about in case anyone isn't familiar:

Most of those cloths have Remoil or a similar synthetic gun oil designed for metal and to protect the blueing, they tend to leave a residue behind, technically I don't think it would hurt the briar but just buy practice I use a jewelers cloth for after smoke wipe down, probably the same but that is what I was taught by the old timer.

I wouldn't with the gun cloth but I've used a guitar cloth before and it's worked out very nicely. I've used the guitar close on gun grips too (removed from the gun) and it works nicely.
