    Babyb leathers restoration

    Some may have seen the mess my leathers were in after kissing the track a few times since I started racing. After the seams were mended, the word on the site was Babyb (KB'er) was the girl to drop them off too .
    They were in such a mess with scuffs and black marks all over them, that I knew I could never ride under sponsorship again with leathers looking that bad.

    When I dropped them off to her, she did mention something about 'enjoying a challange'. And what a challenge it was to get all the ground in Bitumen out of the White of my leather.

    I didn't know what to expect, but it was definitely a job for a pro.

    When I got them back, I took them out of the bag and the first word both my wife and I said was....

    WOW!

    I wouldn't have believed it without see it myself!
    They are almost like new again.

    Thanks Babyb for the effort put into these.
    Now I can once again have that feeling of not wanting to crash incase I scuff my 'New' Leathers!

    A challenge well bested.

    Far out, that is one amazing set of before and after photos. Babyb, you deserve a DB, or something even nicer. If I ever need leather work done, I will come to you!

    Thumbs up

    Yes, i too highly recommended babyB's leather reconditioning services. Amazing attention to detail, very well priced considering the time and effort she puts into the work.
    Doesn't matter where you are, courier them to her, post haste!
