Leather

Your bike could be a number of leather pieces that need to be cleaned from time to time as well. Elements such as security, luggage bags, panniers, tool bags and leather goods, others may have collected dust for long-term storage, so you should give them a little ‘TLC and. Use a leather cleaner to clean the surfaces of these objects. The leather cleaner will also help to heal the skin and keep it soft and in good condition.

Tyres
