Leather tank cover

[tomearp]

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 :)

Shoe polish ( Cherry Blossom or Kiwi ) is as good as anything you'll find that's more sophisticated and more expensive . It's cheap as chips and contains all the revivers , conditioners and waxes that you'll need . Rub it in with a cloth wrapped round your finger then buff off with a soft bristled brush .

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.

i wonder why horse riders don't use boot polish on saddles then?

Baglux covers are not leather.

Really ??? And you should always start a sentence with a capital letter . Go and sit at the back of the class this instant!:p
