Leather motorcycle saddlebags could be restored to their original appearance just with cleaning and conditioning them. Leather naturally absorbs liquids and softens. It just needs some moisture to maintain it shiny and soft. As saddlebags have confronted rain, road salt, pollen, dirt and debris, they're bound to become dull and lifeless.
For restoring it, you will need two washcloths (one dry, one damp), leather cleaner, a leather conditioner, a damp sponge, chrome polish and 2 cotton towels (again one dry, one damp). You commence off by wiping any loose debris, dust or dirt using a dry washcloth. Considering the fact that it is clean from dirt, grab another damp washcloth, squirt some leather cleaner about it and start wiping it throughout the saddlebag, working on one section at a time. It should be done in circles, like waxing a car. You'll need to do so for the complete bag, adding more leather cleaner when needed.
After the cleaning is finished, the bag needs to be left to dry, that might take a while. Next, consider the damp sponge and repeat whatever you did with the washcloth, only on this occasion, squirt it which has a leather conditioner instead of leather cleaner.
Seeing that the leather section of the bag is clean, only your studs continue to be untouched. For polishing them, take that damp cotton towel you could make your hand in it with the entire entire forefinger pointing up as well as the rest curled. Dip your forefinger in the can of chrome polish so that you just get a little polish about the towel, and start rubbing the studs while using polish in a circular motion. Place the chrome cleaner on 5 to 6 studs, just be careful the polish remains in regards to the studs and doesn't face the leather. Whether it accidentally does get smeared around the leather, then immediately wipe it with a clean damp washcloth.
With the finishing touches, rub inside the polish with a dry cotton towel to the metal, removing the polish and leaving a shiny fresh metal. Keep doing so for every single stud on the leather motorcycle saddlebag ahead of the very last stud is shining bright.
