I Really Cleaned My Leathers...

White leather... good for being seen... good at reflecting the suns heat...
but bad in showing dirt... so here's the best way I found to keep them
smelling and looking like new...

I turned my suit inside out... I scrubbed the blue liner with sponge dipped
in hot water and a mild detergent... I rinsed with a garden hose... I air
dry in the breeze...

I scrubbed every inch of the suit with a soft bristled tooth brush dipped in
alcohol... I removed grime from all the nooks and crannies... I did not harm
the surface... I happy...

Did you treat them with any kind of conditioner when you were done?

Tim... no conditioner... I just wiped the alcohol off and let air dry... try
it and let us know what success you have...

That's my dream--white leathers for the summer rides and black for the
winter.......clean, of course. I've been using Lexol and, believe it or
not, Armor-All's Leather Cleaner.
Later!

It's always best to test first but the alcohol doesn't reach the leather
underneath the surface dye/paint so you should be OK...

Gotcha.

 

For $50 it's a no brainer -- send them to Bill. Get 'em
vented while you're at it (for an extra fee, of course).

 

I've been thinking about experimenting with pure lanolin on my leather
goods. If its good enough to keep a leather boat afloat, it should work
fine for other leather goods.

 

I cleaned my white jacket a few weeks ago with saddle soap. It got
clean and was much softer afterwards, too.
