Hi! Both great questions. For rawhide cleaning I found Mr Clean magic eraser works wonders! As for the suede....since I dont know what condition it's in I would start with a microfiber cloth and get it wet but just damp not dripping wet. Scrub on the suede rinsing the cloth as you go. You can use a tiny bit of dawn dish soap in a warm bowl of water to help get dirt up. If that isn't enough you can use a firm plastic scrub brush with the warm water and dish soap. Then after it is dry you can take a wire brush and rough the suede up. ( its hard and not easy!) Let me know if you have any other questions
@@meghansouza9836 You can actually hose down and deep clean your entire saddle but you've got to take as much apart as you can before hand then make sure it is fully dry and follow up with a good leather conditioner like Skidmores. It's very time consuming and pretty intimidating for some to do this tho :')
this is the best suggestion I ever had for a rough out. Thank you so much it worked out great.
I am so glad it helped! Thank you for letting me know
Thank-you for that, never thought of a.sander. Any suggestions on rough out chaps and shade? Again thankyou for sharing that method
For thinner leather like suede and chaps unfortunately you've got to stick with wire brushes
thank you. I have a very slippery saddle that I literally slide out of and was looking for way to rough out the fenders. This is awesome.
I am so glad it helps! God Bless!
Hi! How do you clean your suade seat and the rawhide? I have three shiloh saddles as well that need some TLC
