#305950 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 8089 Re:Protecting Leather Bags 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I use "Snow Seal" Pure Bee's wax, cleans, shines, and water proofs. Available almost any shoe store or Farm store.

I was leaning towards the saddle soap amd mint oil having had saddles and gear for horses in the past. This place is a wealth of information and experience!!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #306040 02Yamaha (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 130 Re:Protecting Leather Bags 2 Years, 8 Months ago   The only thing that I have used on my bags is DOC BAILEY'S. I use it on all my leather, seat. jacket, chaps, boots and vest. It shines, protects and water proofs all in one step. I clean everything with a damp cloth and then apply DOC's. I got my first bottle at Sturgis many years ago and have been using it ever since. Water beads up on the leather and once you put it on you can just wipe off the dirt and use either a clean cloth or a shoe brush to shine it up a little. I have been using it on a pair of work and riding boots that I bought last year and they look brand new. They have a website where you can purchase it or if you got to any of the motorcycle rally's around the country they will most likely be there selling it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #306046 Capt.Kirk (User) "Beam me up Scotty and keep it on two wheels" Platinum Boarder Posts: 1091 Re:Protecting Leather Bags 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I have been using Armor All leather treatment for 4 years. It has really kept the seats and backrest soft and looking good. Also conditions the saddlebags and lever covers.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #306373 About_Time (User) Been there, swore at that! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1233 Re:Protecting Leather Bags 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I've been using Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Cleaning/Conditioning Wipes. They do a good job of bringing some depth of colour and shine to the bags after a wash, but leave behind an almost ArmourAll-like greasyness. I would like to try Doc Bailey's Leather Black, but I haven't found it available in Canada and ordering it up from the States would likely produce the Duty/Brokerage shock.   Logged     2004 Roadstar Silverado Marshall Gold/Beach Sand Tan Lots of chrome stuff   The administrator has disabled public write access. #306395 FourFingers (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 86 Re:Protecting Leather Bags 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Just plain old black shoe polish. works great, and sometimes a good leather protector.   Logged     [URL=http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll89/4Finger2/12.jpg]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll89/4Finger2/1-2-1.jpg   The administrator has disabled public write access. #306414 ride2escape (User) RIDE HARD BUT SAFE Expert Boarder Posts: 560 Re:Protecting Leather Bags 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I use Mink Oil--put it on thick and then use a hair dryer to "melt" it into the seams. Do it several times until the leather won't absorb any more. Works on my work boots as well--just my 2 cents worth   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #306489 EPRoadie (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1948 Re:Protecting Leather Bags 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Here in SW TX... also use mink oil ! Just rub the mother in and wipe off the excess Ain't tried the hair dryer trick   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
