Leather cleaning

[funsizeracing]

What works best for cleaning mud/grass and duc tape residue off leather?  The regular leather cleaning stuff I tried is crap.   Looking for something better that won't damage the leather.   Spyderchick?

I have had good luck using Liquid Glycerine Saddle Soap - Fiebings is the brand I have used. I find it at TSC.

Duct tape, only one thing works, adhesive remover. And it wont get it off of any stretch material. After that, good ol' soap and water with a medium stiff brush, make sure you rinse them well after and allow 'em to dry in a well ventilated area.

Email me if you have any other Qs.

Good luck!

I've used adhesive remover on ground in asphalt too.  Good stuff!   

And thanks again, Alexa.  See you next week.

You are most welcome.

Be careful with adhesive remover, it can eat the color on some suits. We use it very sparingly. If you find you have a suit that can handle the solvent, then you can go a little more vigorously. Rev'It Suits and some A*s have color that will lift, as well as some others.

Yup.  Been there.  Usually it seems like when I've been that far, I've taken out a few layers of my suits dermis.  Lemme talk about my asphalt and blood suit some time...LOL!

How many hours will that discussion take?

Between us?  Probably longer.  Wait until November or so when we can solve more world problems.
