My question is what's the best way to keep leathers clean, soft and supple?

Mine are grubby and are starting to dry up a bit.

Do you folks use leather cleaning polishes and other products or just wipe clean with wet cloth?

'Simple' soap or Lux flakes are great for cleaning leathers, or Auto Glym leather treatments kit is good too :!:

I wipe mine down with a flannel, warm water and liquid hand soap.
Let them dry, and then give them a good coating of Renapur

baby wipes and renapur.

My summer gloves had gone hard and crispy. I cleaned them with baby wipes and then rubbed renapur into them and then put them away for the winter. I go them out a while ago to check them and they have gone nice and soft and supple again

Top stuff

Great stuff for keeping leathers from cracking and keeping them clean is the Nikwax leather cleaner and conditioner. Just use every once in a while depending on how much you ride in them and the road conditions (salt, wet etc). Just giving them a good wipedown with a flannel after each ride to get rid of the worst of the road crap, then treat them every couple of months to bring them back to nice conditioned leathers.
