• Don't use saddle soap. Reading up that it is the wrong thing.

    Looking on the net I'm going to try olive oil and vinegar to clean my seats and other leather bits.

    Looking at a ways to clean and fix the leather in the shituar on the cheap.

  • Don't use saddle soap. Reading up that it is the wrong thing.

    Any particular reason?

    I have a huge tub of budget stuff I use for boots and wellies, and then a a little bit of poncy Saphire stuff I keep for best shoes.

    In the past for leather trousers I've just used moisturising gentle hand soap and light olive oil. Note for the oil you're only using the smallest amount

  • The soap is too alkaline and can cause damage the car seat leather as saddle leather is different.

    Have been told that if nothing is available to use dilute washing up liquid with a round(sash) paintbrush then clean/dry with a microfiber cloth. Then use 2 parts white vinegar and one part olive oil in a spray bottle is supposed to clean and feed the leather.

    Going to try both on the jag to remove the shiny spray on them.
