Leatherlyke cleaning: how to get them black?

[Wayne]

It's been over a year, time to clean the motorcycle.  My only problem is the LeatherLyke bags have faded to a nice gray color.

I put a ton of armor all / formula 2001 on them, and it lasts only while wet.  It dries off in a day or so and turns gray again.

Anyone have any recomendations?  I've got 28k miles and a lot of time in the sun.

I may be wrong but I seem to remember that the instructions that came with my Leatherlyke bags said not to use products like Armor-all because it encourages discoloring and fading; mild soap and water was the recommendation, I believe.  Just FYI...

This is what I have used for many years. It's called Black Again.

Do a web search for Black Again. It should run 7-8 dollars per 8oz bottle plus ship.

I have used something called back to black that worked well, I will check again when I get  home. I bought it at Autozone I think. You got to work it in but it does restore the black.
