What oil do you use?

What oil do you use on your leathers?

I've just smeared mine with finest Vanner & Prest Neatsfoot Oil. What are the alternatives?

FWIW I've always smeared my leather with Nickwax.............

[Gundog]

Johnsons baby oil....

I softened up my leather summer gloves with a bit of my daughter's hand cream.

Worked a treat But at X grillion pounds a tube it bloody well should

For gloves, Tula leather Cream takes some beating. Buy from department stores - intended for handbags!

Furygan leather care in a flat tin smells wonderful! Nice for clothing.

 

[Schtum]

A good drenching with Aqueous Nikwax to waterproof and then periodic treatment with Renapur. For gloves - Nikwax Glove Proof.

I have it on good authority that Atrixo handcream is as good as any leather treatment.

I'll let you know.

Feck me, we might as well be talking about engine oil.

BKS use them , treatment is a bit of labour ( clean, wait 24 hours to dry, condition, wait 24 hours to dry then wax ). The wax can be ordered in any colour you want . The results are phenomenal . The leather is a bit shiny , but after a few days dulls .

I use the stuff they sell at EVERY bike show Rensomething.

It seems to be ok. Still have the tub I bought from 2 years ago.

+ another 1 for Renapur, they seem to be at every show, bike, car, country fair etc. but its damn good stuff been using on leathers for years, gloves/jacket/strides and boots.
