Hello,

To restore the shine of your saddle, here are a few steps you can follow:

-Start by cleaning the saddle thoroughly to remove dirt and residue. You can use a cleaning product specially designed for leather. Make sure you degrease the surface well.
-Once the saddle is clean and dry, you can consider dyeing it to restore its colour and shine. Since saddles are subject to a lot of daily rubbing, I recommend using an aerosol dye. This will allow an even application and full coverage.
-After dyeing the saddle, it is essential to protect it to maintain the colour and the quality of the leather. To do this, you can apply a protective wax daily, ideally after each ride. The protective wax will not only preserve the colour, but will also give the saddle a pleasant feel.

By following these steps, you should be able to restore the shine of your saddle and keep it in good condition.

If you have any other questions or need specific product recommendations, do not hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,
