Proofide Leather Dressing Wax
A new saddle should be treated with Brooks Proofide leather dressing to
help assist the ‘breaking-in’ process. Proofide keeps the leather supple
as it is specially formulated from natural ingredients to condition,
preserve and shower proof your saddle. Proofide is the only substance
that should be used to care for your Brooks Leather Saddle.
Apply a little Proofide to the finished side of the leather. Allow the
Proofide to permeate until dry and then polish off. Proofide should be
used several times during the ‘breaking-in’ period and every 3-6 months
thereafter. On bicycles not fitted with mudguards, an initial
application to the underside of the saddle will be beneficial, this
needs not to be polished off. The leather gets its colour during the
tanning process and it is possible, therefore, that some colour residues
will remain. It is recommended to polish the saddle with a soft cloth
before first use.
