Posted February 19, 200916 yr Hi there, Quick question, I'm torn between which leather care product to use on my gear. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking Autoglym but not sure. Cheers Jim

Cheers Jim I think Goff has a spray booth for all her leathers so long as the leather is fed and keeps supple any product is good enough, I use dubbin on my boots to keep the weather out!!
February 20, 200916 yr I use Urad, this and Renapaur are great for preserving and waterproofing bike leathers and boots and don't leave a slippery surface.
February 20, 200916 yr Moderator I think Goff has a spray booth for all her leathers I use something i bought from the local shoe repairers - seems really good and its softened up the leather on me new leathers
February 20, 200916 yr Moderator This thread topic has Goff's name ALL over it! You'd be surprised how well Armor-All works on leather.
February 20, 200916 yr This thread topic has Goff's name ALL over it! You'd be surprised how well Armor-All works on leather. You sure that's not amore-all! Oops sorry I digress (it's the thighs,lol), personaly i use 'Dales black dubbin on my riding leather's & clear dubbin on the other colours. Good stuff.
February 21, 200916 yr Author Thanks for the info guys. I remember dubbin now, my ma used to make me put that stuff on my footie boots when I was still a wee one. That will work a treat on my boots. Well weather is good here today, 13 whole degrees. Positively a heat wave. Bike here I come! Thanks again for the info cheers Jim

Thanks again for the info cheers Jim I use 'W5' leather care and cleaner from Lidl, cheap as chips and because I'm worth it ! dont think it provides much rainproofing, its got that smell that old people like.

February 21, 200916 yr At least it will keep the moths away and then some !, think it could repel anything with 'olfactory receptors' thats smell sensors to you an me !
February 22, 200916 yr i'd recommend nikwax products, they do leather cleaner and leather restorer to keep it supple and add a bit of water repellence. you can get it from a good few bike shops (Hein Gericke or J&S mainly), or from some ski/snowboarding stores Tom
