Jim R Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!

Slippery When Wet Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I use Urad, this and Renapaur are great for preserving and waterproofing bike leathers and boots and don't leave a slippery surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Goff Posted February 20, 2009 Moderator Share Posted February 20, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted February 20, 2009 Moderator Share Posted February 20, 2009 This thread topic has Goff's name ALL over it! You'd be surprised how well Armor-All works on leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlydan Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 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.

Jim R Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

SupermoTom Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
