What to use to keep Shift **** from wearing

Just noticed today that around the top of my shift **** is changing colors to a light gray, kinda looks like the "pleather" or whatever it is is coming off. Should i use leather conditioner? I don't think its leather so I don't think that will work.....any suggestions?

It's a good question....I haven't found a good solution yet, but from past experience I can tell you to stay far away from stuff like armor all etc leather products

Perhaps a dash protectant?

first don't let any girls use it as a ***** like in the recently posted video. second, wash your hands. The sweat and grime from them will make it deteriorate badly. Clean your **** often if you know what I mean.

Hilarious on the ummm... *****.

But I would like to chime in with a suggestion. Try Meguires #40 vinyl and rubber cleaner/restorer. Works really well.
