I used Turtle wax paste wax on my Romin Evo and armour all after, it seems to work well. Any thoughts ? |
what the...... :wtf:
|
Works well for what?
|
wax on saddle .....what didnt u get ? :crash:
wax on, wax off, rinse, repeat. :crash: |
Only if you have clay barred it first....:innocent:
|
Will you not just slide off?
|
I personally hate having a slippery saddle even on my motorcycles sliding around when you don't want to really makes for bad control.
|
my bag balm is sufficient
|
Brooks' venerable "Proofide" saddle treatment has a significant amount of beeswax content. And "SnoSeal" leather treatment is essentially beeswax in a volatile carrier. Petroleum based products tend to soften leather significantly, but the saddle in the OP's picture appears to have a plastic base which wouldn't necessarily suffer from increased softness.

Is "waxing a saddle" code for something? Never mind, I don't want to know...
|
Ah, the waxen saddle... Reminds me of the old Aphex Twin classic...
|
The first time you brake hard you will realize that maybe waxing the saddle was not such a great idea... Magic erasers work great for light colored saddles, BTW.
|
I've never used anything on a vinyl saddle other than a microfiber cloth dampened with some very dilute Dawn dish soap, followed by a rinse with clear water. I wax my frames a couple of times a year but would never apply it to a saddle.
|
OP, the saddle isn't leather. Wax can't do anything for it. Now Lemon Pledge, that is a different story. ;)

Isn't the off season fun?
|
I wax (bare crabon). I want the chamois to slide against the saddle not my skin. No control problems.
|
Son of a g u n protectant works better than Armor All to keep your saddle slippery and shiny.
|
Ooh shiny things
