Hola folks - hope everyone is well.
I've just smeered myself in moisturiser and slid into my leathers which got me thinking - what do people do to keep their leathers soft and supple ?
I was amazed at how much and how quickly the leather soaked up the cream

I use bees wax, nice rub in and leave overnight, then dry cloth polish the next day. Not only keeps them looking good but helps to repel water as well.  :yes:  :yes:

the supermarkets do a product called Sheratons , mainly for leather sofas , ive used it for a few times . Motorbike shops usually have something on the counter , I used to pick up the hein gericke leather food .
ive heard that leather boot Dubbin is also good.
don't polish the backside part of your pants

I've made up a big batch of wax, similar to Renapur.  A mix of Beeswax, rapeseed oil and some light massage oil.  All melted together and poured into little pots.  Works a treat at about 10% of the cost of Renapur

Are you still talking about massaging your leathers Burchy?  :whistling:
