Cleaning leathers

[gr4]

What do you all use for cleaning and looking after leathers. Are the pukka Dainese etc kits best or should I just use any old leather feed ? And what about the lining ? The labels say you can't wash or dry clean them, so what can you do ? Or maybe it's true that all bikers are so cool they don't sweat.......

If you want a Dainese cleaning kit, drop me a mail with your address and I'll send you one. Have a fair few knocking about

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but can the kit be used on kangaroo leather as well

I use saddle soap to wash my leathers. (If it's good enough for "posh folks bums" then it should be OK for my leathers! )

Thanks Martin, I'll drop you a line. Then perhaps I could do half in Dainese stuff, half in saddle soap and see if I can spot the difference - Just like a Persil ad !

Heh, sorry, missed your post. Whereabouts in Cambs are you?

Ooops just finish off this humble pie, I,m near Huntingdon how about yourself ?, to be honest I just use a damp sponge to wipe off the bugs, if you're not far away and haven't sampled the local route I can point you in the right direction.
