I was given a whip, from a kind benifactor, inorder to create my costume for my Indiana Jones fan film. I just wondered if anyone knows the best hints and tips about looking after a whip. What products (e.g. polishes) to use etc.
Regards
Luke

Also, you have a rare opportunity, if you want to have a reference work for care of your whip...Paul Stenhouse is having a 'firesale' on his Whip Maintenance DVDs/videos, if you want to know a bit more than just what to use on it.

Read the "Bullwhip FAQ"; Morgan and Mike Murphy have good info on cleaning and care, as well. As Sergei noted, there's a wealth of info here in this forum. One thing I'd like to add is, crack your whip! As long as your whip is not an antique or 'wall hanging', quality whips love to be taken out and cracked. They get sad and lonely if you just leave them on a shelf.
best,
Gene
