| MotoGP Champion   Joined: Mar 2007 From: Lacey, WA I Ride: '01 R6 | Cleaning Leathers For those of you that don't know, I wear a white leather riding jacket. And man oh man does it ever get nasty. Dirt.. bugs... guts... Just nasty. And to make matters worse - I never cleaned it after last year's riding season.  So I thought it was going to be a nasty chore to tackle. BUT......I pulled out one of those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers that I get in my stocking every Christmas - and Holy Nuts!! This is the BEST product in the world.  Just get it wet and wipe.. No soap.. No special leather cleaning products. And my coat looks brand spakin' new with practially no effort!  Highly recommend!! |

| Daytime Adventure Seeker  | Glad you were able to get your jacket cleaned up. I just got some more Lexol cleaner and conditioner, mine are in need of a good cleaning as well. Want to come clean mine?!  |

I've got a tip for Kristine.  For those that don't know, Maric's wife is pretty hot. Smart, super dooper intelligent, Blonde, lot's of legs, and has the sweetest of hearts. He's a lucky man. | |

Cleaning the bird guts off the one piece last year was a pain finially just pressure washed it. I have found that a little bit of silicone spray (food grade) on a rag and buff your leather up helps to get the bugs off after they get on sorta stops them from sticking. Problem is I am to lazy to keep the gear coated. |
