What do you use?

I got a qoute from a shop $150 :shock: how about go fu#$ ya self..
Its an alpinestar jacket.

The instructions say no water no chemical professional clean only.
Mainly water marks and some built up mud.

Thanks.

Lay it out flat Jake, and sponge it clean with tepid soapy water then sponge rinse it.
Try not to saturate the leather and just hang it to dry. If you overwet it, lay it flat to dry...

I use the insides of bugs. Coincidentally that means I just need to ride in order to clean my leathers :D

I agree with Neil.
Bug guts is a great leather protector.
Slightly water repellant too.

hmm... i remember cowshit eating holes through gumboots when i was a kid.
don't think i'd try cow.

Muzz's method works just great. Don't get them too wet and they'll be fine.

Go to a horse place and buy some saddle soap, then give it a dose of Nikwax.

Martha's wool mix and warm water.....No shit!

Eucalypt fresh and leather remains soft and supple due to the natural oils....Just dont tell anyone I told you.
