INDIAN MOTORCYCLE
Leather Care Dressing is a leather conditioner formulated to restore
many of the oils that are lost from
leather due to exposure to environmental elements.
This conditioner is suitable for all oil-tanned leather on your INDIAN
motorcycle, but it should never be used on suede.
This leather care
dressing will also restore some of the color lost through natural
aging and now includes UV protection.
The rate of aging depends on how often the motorcycle
is used, how it is stored, and weather conditions. While visible signs
of aging are more noticeable on natural leather,
lack of care may cause non-warrantable damage to both natural and
black leather.
Application
Apply Leather
Care Dressing as part of a regular maintenance regime, such as polishing
chrome and washing painted surfaces.
Apply this treatment at least one time per month.
Apply more often if the motorcycle is regularly exposed to the elements
or parked in the sun.
- Wipe down leather
with a sponge and clean water.
- Wipe down leather
with a dry towel and allow it dry at room temperature. Do not use
heat to accelerate drying time.
- With a clean cloth,
lightly rub the dressing into the leather and wipe off any excess.
Be cautious not to allow droplets or
globs of the treatment to sit on an
area of the leather as that area will darken. For better results,
use a straight wiping
motion rather than a tight swirling
motion. Lighter areas may need more treatment applied to darken them.
- Allow the treatment
to dry before riding (typically one hour).
