I think all new blue chips need an oiling. Other brands less so or not at all. IMHO.
For our chips, I would recommend it unless they are going to be constantly handled. For casinos we don't do it, because the constant handling by people and the oil and sweat from the hands do it naturally.
For home chips I would say do it lightly. We have been using a silicone based panel cleaner for close to 40 years, and it really brings out the colors.
It makes a world of difference on ASM's as well as BCC chips. I have received two different orders from ASM on my customs - the first order was oiled and the colors were very vibrant - the second set was dry and did not look like the same chip colors at all until they were oiled. I have some pics at home I'll post tomorrow to illustrate how much difference oiling ASM's makes. It is a pretty dramatic difference.
After spending hours and hours oiling a new 1,000 pc. set, I have found the perfect solution to getting a well oiled chip for about $3 bucks and NO LABOR!
Just serve these at your game or tourney to all players and PRESTOOOO!!!:
