Default Saddlebag issues.

My saddle bags are looking a bit faded, dirty and dry.




These are some of the many products I've wasted money on trying to make them look black and healthy again but nothing works. I've even tried the LEXOL products but to no avail.



Anybody have any suggestions???

If those bags were in our shop I would clean them with saddle soap and then hit them with some Doc Baileys .. Good luck you should be able to clean them up ...

Pecards(sp) museum dressing is the best I've ever used.
They use it to restore historical artifacts.
That and Skidmores leather creme is all I used back in the saddle building days.
