Terrific Stuff

Product: Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies Obsidian Pipe Stem Oil 18ml
Works exactly as described. Just the slightest drop is enough to cover an average stem. Try to remember that, like just about any other maintenance product, it's going to work best if you use it on a clean, brightly polished stem. It's not a miracle ... Read More
curative for dull or heavily oxidized ebonite, but rather a way to keep your stems looking fresh from the factory and/or keeping the finish protected on a recent restoration. Read Less

Remove any oxidation first.
Apply sparsely on the stem, let it sit for 30 minutes or so, wipe of with a soft cloth. Your stem will come out looking like new.

Since buying this I haven't used my polishing wheel once. It keeps the pipe bits looking new. I did find that it will not remove oxidation that's already there; but maybe I wasn't giving the solution enough time to work.
Good solution for old problem!

It keeps stems shiny and black as advertised. A very small dab covers a whole stem, so a small bottle will last quite a while. Good product.

tle I repeated the process 2 or even 3 times in a row and noticed a huge difference. I personally like to apply the oil with a Q-Tip and rub in circular motions across the entire stem. This seemed to get better coverage than rubbing with you hands. Definitely will be keeping this in stock on my shelf. Read Less

onths of abuse and travel with my pipes, their stems still look glossy. It’s well worth the time and effort. Mineral oils are what industry uses to maintain hard rubber, so it’s also a good idea to keep the already-abused stems on your workhorse pipes from oxidizing and becoming brittle. Read Less
