Has anyone used the Galazan Case Color Enhancement Kit?
Any idea of what it does or how it works?

Not sure about this product, but I am convinced that the "Case Colors" on the RBL is some sort of a baked on product. Shortly after receipt of my Launch Edition, the colors flaked off in one small area (not wear - flaked). Sent back to CSM, and repair was made satisfactorily.

Brian,
I have used the case lacquer with good results (every other year use), I dont think that the kit is needed provided that the gun case colors are in good standing.
Regards.

What exactly is in this kit? A propane torch, 4/0 steel wool and instructions written by someone named Ed??  Jim

I also saw that advertised in their last catalog and wondered when Tony started employing alchemists.

From what I remember from Dr. Gaddy's writings on case colours and how they are formed,
I don't see how you can enhance them from a bottle.
If it is some kind of acid you would be taking them off.

I have not used the complete Case Color Enhancement Kit, but have used the the Case Color Lacquer--with satisfactory results. The complete kit includes three basic components: cleaning solution, case color solution, and case color lacquer.I would suspect the cleaning solution is comparable to Birchwood Casey's Cleaner/Degreaser--to remove existing grease and oil, I'm not sure what the case color solution is or what it does, and the case color lacquer is the film that helps protect the case colors from wear and it is also the component that enhances the existing colors by making them appear slightly brighter and it will also impart a slight amber hue when applied. The Case Color Lacquer is easy to apply--I used a 1/4" artist's camel hair brush. The product flows on thinly and evenly and dries in a few minutes. I applied two coats---any more and it would probably fill in the engraving cuts. Here's a link to the complete Case Color Enhancement Kit: http://www.csmcspecials.com/Case_Color_Enhancement_Kit_p/f0402.htm

Case colors solution bottle looks like red/brown stain or some sort of it. Probably its something about light filters, some filters can gain colors, make them to look brighter. Just IMHO.

Geno, the Case Color Lacquer is the one that is amber colored that you've described looking like red/brown stain. The Case Color Solution and the Cleaning Solution are vodka-clear.
