Crab paste

That sounds like something you'd need medication for...

its very good indeed.

This stuff..

So shower down your leathers and use your preferred cleaner saddle soap or some use a 'small' amount of dishwashing liquid. Give it a good going over with a sponge or pad that isn't too abrasive.
Rinse and repeat until happy...

allow you leathers to dry naturally and then use the above product... just make sure you let it dry off a little as its waxy...

Or get a specialist leather feed?

Sensitive baby wipes for the cleaning and then Renpure for the conditioning.

Brilliant stuff I've had the same pot for about 5 years, seems to last forever, works really well on Timberland deck shoes as well!

Struggle to say lunch, but no one knows what tea means down 'ere. So I do breakfast dinner and dinner.

Renapur just ordered on the strength of everyone's recommendations.

Curious whether it works better on leather cleaned with saddle soap or baby wipes or just plain old water?

A nail brush with warm water and hand soap does the trick, just dry it off with an old towel and let it dry out completely before treating it.

Better on leather cleaned with saddle soap, I imagine, or Renapur Leather Cleaner

Renapur's good stuff!

I reckon all we're missing from this "Bringing leathers back to life" thread is a couple of vital organs to get them "mooo...ing" and eating grass again.

With the amount of weight I've put on over the last couple of years, it'd probably be simpler to brand a cow with a Dainese logo, skin it and then just let me wear that.

Once you've cleaned and fed the leather, what do people use to put the colour back in ?

Personally, nothing I like a bit of patina

Kit is getting on for 13 years old so there is definitely patina

You can get leather dye kits for car seats that work well, www.liquidleather.com if really scuffed

alternatively instead of Renapur stuff use Alt Berg ledergris in black, it will soften and make them black again. i used it once a year on all my black leather equipment

Once you've fed the leather, you can add some zip wax for that final touch of luxury
