What people use for cleaning and preserving leather ??

Saddle Soap,

Get it from Saddlery/Horsey place.

Try 3M leather and vinyl restorer and conditioner, i find it excellent at claening and softening hard leather and keeping newer leather pristine.i have tried many others but always come back to this one.

Anyone still use Neatford oil, great for softening old leather.
Can't remember if it smelt bad though.

..even Solyptol 50/50 mix with tap water. Works a treat.

Thanks for that, may well work: Solyptol soap contains Triclosan, which is a biocide which also leaves some residue following usual application. I might give it a try, thanks!

Amoral put out a cleaner / conditioner wipe for leather , works well ,

Wherehegon,

I use a product called Renapur Leather balsam on the leather seats in my falcon and on my leather bike jackets, it works really well. Check it out on google.

On our horse gear we use Joseph Lyddys JAY-EL beeswax leather dressing and found it excellent for that. says on the tin can also be used for luggage, upholstery, coats, jackets, golf bags, auto seats etc etc.

I have used LeatherSeal for decades.I believe it does condition and preserve leather and stitching and is wax based.I have used it on motorbike gloves , boots, jackets. When first applied it has helped with waterproofing.I used to use Snowseal which is a similar product. All gear is still A1 condition.
It does require rubbing in and warmth to absorb and will be slightly stick until it absorbs. But I prefer this slight inconvenience than to risk with other products with chemicals that may effect in the long term.
I used to use Dubbin along time back but found out that it supposedly had animal fat/alkalines which is not good for stitching.
