This question has been posed before but how do I wash or clean the suit?

I think you can wash them - my wife washed her trousers without problem.

I had some Atlantis gloves and they didn't seem to mind the water.
 
re washing

the label on the trousers specifically "warns" against washing?
 
Part no 72 60 7 673 861

BMW do a cleaning agent and waterproofing kit for brushed leather. Expensive but very good. Each kit gives you enough to clean 1 suit twice. Although you'll rarely need to. I just gently wash the liner every now and again

I'm still wearing an Atlantis jacket I bought in 2001. An eye watering price after you've added the goretex liner. Not really fashionable so no chance of it going out of style and they fade to a fetching shade of panzer crew grey-green.
 
Maybe there are different versions - her's says 30C wash with BMW's special washing product (the latter we ignored)
 
it is a 30 degree wash for the BMW wash goop

WARNING: Dealer stock a similar product (72 60 7 673 860 I believe is one digit out) called Textile and Leather , this is NOT suitable for the Atlantis suit. Contains the washing solution and a spray gun ( after washing I used the spray gun , the stuff coming out was a white wax type solution:blast, I had to rewash the jacket and it came out light grey. The correct kit should contain 2 bottles.
The Atlantis 4 is a tighter cut with les material around the arm and a large back protector.
 
I've had three pair of Atlantis pants, done some 250,000 miles in 'em. I've lived in them :eek:

Try to resist washing them for as long as possible ... they're never as good as what they were before even though I've only used the BMW cleaning stuff!
