Mother's Leather Conditioner

[ducatilover]

beeswax or "elephant wax" have both done the trick for me.

My old leather pants are good in that respect; they've been down the road and track and the arse is nicely roughed up so it grabs the seat.

I'll take a sander to the backside of my new one-piece if I have to, but it'd be nice to solve the problem in a less destructive way.

Quasi, any thoughts?

Not really other than to say they are new leathers I would expect the problem to go away fairly quickly, also there is to surfaces, whats your seat like?
I think some Stomp would be a good solution.

Low friction on the seat is good for shifting around during cornering, I guess...

I fuckin knew as soon as I clicked 'post' that someone would rep me for that and say "you should be lifting your arse up when moving around".

Yes, whoever you are (I can't see who reps me - too many infraction points) that's how I normally ride. Hence my preference for my scuffed-up old pants that stick to the seat and keep my bum where I put it!

We've got a finishing sander and some 80 grit if you and Stickchick want to borrow it?

Sorry, not going to volunteer for the job of sanding your arse while you stand in a leather suit. People would talk.

You forgot to show me the suit too.

Hahahaha! Last time I checked, I wasn't renting that suit.

If I want to take to the arse with a belt sander and paint a happy face on the scuff marks then I damn well will.

That's a good point, I wonder around in circles for ages trying to remember where I've put my arse!

I have used Snoseal on my old jacket a couple of times a year (usually a week or so before a trip).
Quasi, you advise Beeswax, how does Snoseal compare?

Sno-seal is a Beeswax

I've just replaced my old Leather that I've had since 1988 and the only treatment it ever had was regular doses of Sno-seal and it hasn't been replaced due to being past it either

oh I thought it was a Seal blubber thing, I brought it to keep the greenies in business and the fish population up.

Actually DAH to me of course it is

it's a nice texture of paste, something to do with the conditioning treatment using clubs

Thought I had read that on the tin, but don't have one within reach at the moment.

My "old" jacket is '90 vintage and I only bought a new one because Quasi was all but giving it away on Trademe.

Slofox ; if you used too much, or it didnt soak in properly then followed it with a good buffing.... yes your butt will become slippery. As Quasie said give ya butt a wash with warm water to calm the problem.

How do you get rid of the cracking leathers?...

stop growing lad

[SARGE]

just a good coat of Mink oil does the trick on all my leather...
