Hi,

I use this stuff:

I use the Leather Cleaner first. This is like a mild shampoo and removes muck and dead flies etc.

Then, once the leathers have dried, I use the Balsam. Apply sparingly though and build up as much as you want to because it soaks in better if applied little and often.

Both the Leather Cleaner and Balsam are applied with a sponge - a wet one for the cleaner and a dry one for the balsam.

I bought a second hand Chesterfield type leather chair recently too and used these on the chair. It looks like brand new now!

For inside the leathers, I squirt Febreeze and hang them out to air. Febreeze says not to use on leather but if you're careful and only apply it to the jacket/trouser liners you shouldn't have any problems and it will make them smell fresher.

Good luck!

I've also been using renapur on my leathers, boots and leather panniers, seat and other leather accents on my bike for years now. All my leathers are in great condition and it does a pretty good job in keeping the rain out as well.

When I was at tech many moons ago,there was a member of a notorious biker gang who I chatted away to about his lifestyle.Part of his initiation ceremony involved group members peeing on his jacket.That would make the leather supple as in women putting cow pee on their skin....yes it`s used in cosmetics.Ok, human skin is a lot less tough than leather,but a Spanish farmer`s trick for cracked/rough skin on his hands, is to pee on them and rub the urine in.Softens them a treat

Thought that might help ;)
