Repairing the Leather Saddlebags of Your Motorcycle

By Harry Alan


Leather saddlebags can be reconditioned to their original appearance just with cleaning along with conditioning them. Leather naturally absorbs drinks and softens. It just requires some moisture to keep it shiny and soft. As saddlebags have confronted rain, road sea salt, pollen, dirt along with debris, they are bound to become dull along with lifeless.

For restoring it, you'll need a pair of washcloths (one dried out, one damp), leather cleaner, a natural leather conditioner, a moist sponge, chrome shine and two cotton bath towels (again one dried up, one damp). You start off by clearing off any loose trash, dust or dirt off with a dried out washcloth.

Now that it can be cleaned from soil, grab another damp washcloth, squirt several cleaners on it and start wiping it on the saddlebag, working on 1 section at a time. It ought to be done in circles, similar to waxing a car. You will need to do so for the entire tote, adding more natural leather cleaner when necessary. Following the cleaning is done, your bag should be left to dry, which can take a while. Next, consider the damp sponge and repeat what you do with the washcloth, merely this time, squirt it with a leather strengthener instead of leather better.

Now that the natural leather part of the bag will be clear, only your own studs are left unblemished. Pertaining to polishing them, take that rainy natural cotton towel and place you in it with the forefinger pointing upward and the rest curled. Drop your current forefinger inside the stud of stainless enhance so that you just have a little enhance on the towel, and begin do away with the studs with the polish in a really circular motion. Squeeze chrome cleaner within five or six studs, think of yourself as careful the polish remains on the studs and doesn't meet the leather. Whether it accidentally does get smeared around the leather, next immediately wipe them back which has a clean moist clean cloth.

For your finishing variations, apply up the shine using a dry natural cotton soft towel on the metal, treatment of polish and also departing a shiny brand new metal. Keep doing therefore for every stud on the leather motorcycle saddlebag until the very last stud is shining bright.
