Anybody know of anybody else who does a cleaning service ??

They've got a really good reputation and have been going for a while.

Not had mine cleaned ever in 8 years... Call yourself a biker pffff

Mine are about 8 years old as well ... I'm sure theres some white bits somewhere

If you do get them cleaned post up the results here if you can. Would be nice to see before and after pics

Mine don't last 8 years!

I clean all my own leather, from bike stuff to sofas and car seats. Lots of good easy to use products available.

Excuse my ignorance but what are the benefits of using a professional company over a diy job ?

you dont get your hands dirty

It gets done

We're talking Spudda here though guys, neither of them will motivate Spudda he normally cleans stuff that doesn't even need cleaning

Spudda's probably just gauging the quality of the cleaning before setting up a sideline business. Mirror finish leathers.

I've tried a few things myself but they dont seem to do the deep clean I think this company will do

Try Nikwax leather cleaner. Will clean them up like new.

Will it buff this out Duke??

Kiwi can you get them repaired I got mine done professional for about £100 after a big off.

I have the autoglym leather cleaner and their leather feed for the car interior but not used on my leather suits. Might give it a try and was going to clean the car interior this week anyway.

Got quotes of between $300-$500 for patched repairs but informed that Beriks are known for stretching at the stitching after an off. I've had three in those. I can get the exact set for $600 (reduced as run out) but am going to look at a one piece. Need new gloves and helmet as well.

I'm looking at the Laguna seca 1 piece good suit with alot of the tech features of top of the range £2000 suits.

You got any ideas what you fancy ?

Crikey just looked at the prices

Looks like I have just saved £70 by cleaning my own kit. That's £70 towards other bike bling or kit is my thinking

Something affordable. I did like the Berik gear but had 2 repairers tell me the stitching doesn't hold up in crashes very well.

I'd consider a good second set for the track and then buy good road gear once the D6 is a go.
