    Cleaning White Saddles

    Anyone have a magic recipe for cleaning white saddles? I never had any problem keeping older saddles on the whole fairly white-looking (I suspect that my old Regals were real leather or a heartier kind of Lorica or whatever is used) but the newer San Marcos use "Microtex" and tend to end up a...
