i just got a leather jacket and went for a nice ride on it yesterday. since its got some white parts on it (and obviously the bugs have to land on the white part), how do you guys go bout cleaning/conditioning your jackets? i just use some of that Awesome stuff... havent gotten a conditioner for it yet. just got the jacket.. so want to know some tips on how to keep it looking clean and stuff... yeah.
I got the blue and white A-stars dyno if that means anything. thanks!
 
For bugs, damp washcloth.

Always were a t-shirt and never a tanktop. You want to keep the BO off the jacket as much as possible.

For the annual or semi-annual cleaning (depending on smell) a glicerine bar soap and water, let drip and air dry out of the sun.

Also, some bugs or road grit will stain your leather and the stain can not be removed.
 
I use the manufacturer's recommended products and instructions.
 
I just throw my vanson into the washer.

cold water, Gentle cycle and woolite.

The little red bird that landed on my window sill one morning told me so.

(the statement above has gotta make someone cringe) ;)
