From: Andy Bonwick on 2 Feb 2010 16:53 Ok, my Daytonas are horribly stained by the last few days of snow and rain so what's the best thing to clean and re-proof them with? They're goretex ones so I'm a bit wary of coating them with something that stops the goretex from breathing properly but I want to clean the crud off them and at least make them water 'repellent' again. Go for it...

Renapur leather cleaner has always worked well for me. And then Renapur gunk for reconditioning. -- Dnc

For old fashioned leather hill walking boots I prefer Nikwax. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: Peter(a)ps-fisher.demon.co.uk | | Voxan Roadster Yamaha WR250Z/Supermoto "Old Gimmer's Hillclimber" | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
