I bought some of leather cleaner from them this week after the reviews by fellow phers.http://www.liquidleather.com/
I didnt get the conditioner though I bought Renapur leather balsam to protect it after Ive cleaned them.
puts like a film on the leathers protecting them feeding them and waterproofing them and lasts for ages apparently.
A woman from their company done my boots at scottish bike show and I was impressed anyway

dont know what the leather cleaner is like from them.
hope this kind of helps
Saddle soap from the local horsey shop, then a leather food from the same place or good old black Kiwi shoe polish.
I was told by a leather goods maker that you don't want to soften the leather too much as it will be more likely to tear, and you shouldn't really use soap or detergent on leather at all (other than the above) as it makes it more likely to crack.

Well, the guy who told me this has many years experience in the leather industry and even used to do all the leather stuff for Jesse Rae (not that that's much of a claim to fame though...).
I agree. Given that saddle soap is designed for a very, very expensive piece of kit with some serious stitching, I cant see how it could be bad for bike leathers. The conditioner does make the arse on the jeans a bit slippy (ooer matron), but that soon wears off (double ooer matron)Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
