I use the autoglym spray cleaner and leather conditioner that I use on my car seats.

Yea, I've used leather car seat cleaner and conditioners on my leather bike seats and jackets too. Can't find the bottles now but they were from Halfords, nothing fancy just their own brand stuff iirc. I think Autoglym is pretty good stuff too.

Duckswax
Used Duckswax for years superb . Now they do a Black one which is great for old leather and boots. The black one is black in colour for only black leather. You have to use gloves it offers the same protection.

Baby wipes first for getting flies & dirt off before using a leather conditioner. Cheapest from Lidl or Aldi. Also great for removing brake dust & chain lubricant from wheel rims, removing flies from helmet & visors.

Bought the DucksWax and I am very impressed, revived an old Alpinestars jacket really well. Dealing directly with the company is a lot cheaper than suppliers.

I used beer, vomit and love juice on my first leather jacket, which, come to think of it, didn't actually do the leather much good, but it was a lot more fun..
