I use leather sofa cleaning wipes then nourishing wipes every so often,leathers still in excellent condition after 8 years. Baby wipes after every ride shift bugs and stuff,give a handful of them a try.

Try warming leathers up gently with a hairdryer first,might make the nikwax easier to shift.

I can let you borrow mine Stuart, I know yours got made redundant in 1987.

I use Renapur cleaner on my leathers and then the wax, keeps them supple.

Has anyone tried Johnson's dry cleaners to clean their leathers?
Clean mine every year with usual cleaner and then leather cream, although now the fabric sections looking a bit naff
Thought I might give them a treat and do a full clean
although it does seem pricey and they want my leathers for 1-2 weeks

they need them for that long because they'll send them away to be cleaned. The chemicals they'll use can't be used in built up areas like high streets due to H&S / EU regs. How much do they charge?

Thank you jimmymac may well give them a try
rather use on recommendation than johnsons who seem more and I know nothing about what kind of job they do

i had some Alpinestars leathers cleaned by them a few years ago. Did a good job, the owner is a nice guy too.

Dainese Leather Protection & Cleaning Kit

I use this to clean my Dainese leathers and it's very good, especially as my 1pc race suit is predominantly white.

Wait ... you clean your leathers?

I like the 4mm deep band of flies on my shoulders and chest bits - battle scars
