    Pecards works good, also at the local feed stores or Tractor Supply see if they got "Horsemans One Step". Very similar to Pecards and works just as good IMHO. Got a buddy that uses Horsemans on old motorcyle gear and saddle bags, really works wonders on stuff you would think is ready for the trash bin. Either of these needs to be rubbed/worked in, its not a wipe on/wipe off affair.

    Whatever you use make sure it's not petroleum based. Neat's foot is and is OK for new gear but it will shorten the life span of it.

    Petroleum eats on the hide and breaks it down over time.
