I've got a leather tank cover on my bike that is in very good condition. Any recommendations of what should I clean it with/apply to it/etc to keep it in this condition?
Thanks :)

Not sure about boot polish, fine for boots, but tank covers? Personally i'd use saddle soap, cleans and softens and replenishes leather. What bike do you have this cover on?
It's a bagster cover on a sprint. Looked on the website and I think it might be synthetic leather, which I guess is made from plastic materials?
I AM sure about shoe polish that's why I suggested it :) But if it's vinyl and not leather then it won't be suitable.Quote:
