The three-stage leather cleaning process :-
1. Put them on.
2. Pay £3.50.
3. Walk through the carwash.
Another three-stage leather cleaning process :-
1. Put them on.
2. Roll in oats.
3. Fry gently for two minutes on each side, then serve with almonds....
Hang on - Sorry, that was the three stage Trout Frying process.
Am confused now. What were we talking about again??
Whoooooo!

Hey guys I detail Porsche Mercs Lambos etc for a living (and yea I get to drive them too). I'm interested Joel - what did u use? If it were me I would not be interested in anything exotic to get the crud off. If it's just the stuff from bubbily thats dried on a damp (warm) face washer used gently and sparingly should do the trick. Couple of days later when they are nicely dry and clean they will need reoiling. On my shooting jacket I use dubbing warmed till it goes clear on the stove (lowest possible temp). Take a rag wrap it round your finger twice dip it in the warm dubbing and do the seems all over first (SPARINGLY). Leave the leathers hanging in your garage (not the bedroom cupboard as dubbing stinks a bit) for a couple of days. Then rub the excess all over the outside. Two days later wipe any excess away and lightly buff with a clean cloth to a nice sheen. Don't put any dubbin on the inside seams (as it will stain light coloured clothing) just a little on the outside is all you need. So think conservative when using dubbin. There are cleaner and nicer to use synthetics out there but in the real world when it rains etc and your laying on the road side crud or taking a bubbly bath on the dias your leathers will stand up no probs.........trikes

Ok this is the poo................ Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil. Check out their site. The good people at RR recommend Leatherique. Personally I've been using this stuff for about a month. My first try was on an old set of one piece leathers (won Ebay) that haven't been worn for some years and they are (were) hard as wood (cardboard dosen't even come close). In just a few days after application the crude came to the surface just like it say's on the instructions and they were soft enough to try on. If you have leathers GET SOME NOW. Never again will I use anything else on leather..........trikes
