Recently acquired another oldie. 05 Teal city. Seller didn't mention the zippers are corroded. They are extremely hard to open and close to the point where I think if I pull hard enough they may break. I've been looking online for some solutions and some say white vinegar with a toothbrush would help and then rub some candle wax or beeswax on it to help it lubricate. Other mention 3 in 1 oil but I'm scared it would ruin the leather surrounding it.

Any suggestions would be awesome if you have had some experience with corroded zippers. I think they're rusted out? Otherwise the bag is in amazing condition.
