Maintenance tips for Flite saddles

[BoyBurning]

I've never tried it personally, but Jez on here swears by turtle wax... Apparently it's abrasive enough to pull out the grime without damaging the leather, and then buffs up to a nice shine...

I tend to scrub with a damp cloth and fairy liquid, then stick some shoe polish on and buff up when thoroughly dry. Makes it pretty slippy when finished though which is either a bonus or not depending on how much you squirm around in the saddle.

I tend to be a squirmer so suits me well...

I get enough piss-taking off 'She-who-must-be-obeyed' as it is without resorting to giving my saddle a facial! :shock:

Saying that I do have some fancy leather softener as used by Rolls Royce I bought to make a pair of original '70's cowboy boots wearable...

Damn, did I just say that out loud!
