done, got some saddle soap from the shoe repair shop down the road. I'll give it a clean, wipe it over with some bleach to stop it growing back then some oil/boot polish.

what about the leathers?

[The Pastor]

I find that soaking the leathers in a tub of petrol works well.....

I usally just wash it and dry it... warm water.

an ex of mine told to me put them in the sun each summer and rub with vaseline...he did this every year,

was he talkin about his cock or his leathers

Guys...Dont use boot polish.. you may think it is good, but not really it is the old fashion way of cleaning leather riding boots and saddles... It comes off on everything and takes the natural sheen out of the leather. The new clear products with waterproofers in them are o.k. You get these normally at trade shows and the like and they last for ever. Remember leather is a natural product and needs a bit of TLC.

You probably wont need to use any oil products on your leathers as this is designed for heavy weight harness leather that is brand new to supple it up for use and waterproof it. If you use oil all the time it makes the leather limp(flaccid if you know what I mean) and it can tear and break.

Ahh all those hours of cleaning horse saddlery has come to some use...

Been doing it for years and had no problems this maybe an old method but it works. Have got a jacket thats about 15 years old and its fine.
If you buff the nugget till it shines it doesnt come off.
Protects, preserves and nourishes.
But in saying this there are alot of products on the market and there are probably better things to use but this is what works for me.

if ya gonna store leather guys
give them a good clean then wrap them in cotton sheet/blanket
then in a a blanket off the ground. the cotton dosent sweet & absorbs moisture. dont wrap in plastic!

Well I must get my five cents too before they get to be worth nothing, unless you find a 2004.

When I brought the bike ten months ago I reactived my 25 yr old leather jacket, gave it a quick clean up and shot off to that little tiny shoe repair man at the bottom of Majoribanks Street, Mount Victoria on recommendation from WN Motorcycles. The zip wasn't working properly but he fixed it real cheap without the need of a new one. THEN I asked him re cleaning and protecting the leather and he didnt hesitiate to give me a product called 'TARRAGO' self shine leather polish from Spain. He swears on it so I spent my $10 and got home and applied it with the use of a cool little sponge pad and WOW the jacket looks like new and I haven't cleaned it again since. The product is applied and drys completely though I also gave the jacket a quick baft and there was no excess , and it hasn't come off since.
