Didn't want to hijack another thread-but my leather pad on my M-21 is getting ugly. Is Saddle soap good to use before applying more black shoe paste? What is the suggested protocol to get the gray spots on the cover looking better? Many thanks.
Two products. They are both very similar and will nourish the leather and keep it supple. Clean the leather with a damp (water & very mild soap) clean cotton cloth, let it dry.
Obenaufs (my personal go-to leather product for everything leather except suede)
Skidmores. (I’ve used it on leather and it’s very good, it also doubles as a fantastic lube for wood screws!)
