Nothing mechanicalDo you use anything mechanical to scrub the leather with the cleaner? OMG, the amount of elbow grease with the little brush is crazy! The pics you attached are amazing... I have some wilsons sitting around that I need to get that pocket adhesive stain out.. That must be brutal.
How wet is the leather getting when you're cleaning the individual sections? Thanks in advance! - E
Warm water.
Start with a damp tack sponge, get in in the cleaner then rub it over the glove, get a light lather.
Then I'll usually go with the horse hair brush, it will lift most of the dirt and muck off of the leather and logos, wipe away the lather with a warm wet tack sponge. If there is still grime or something then I go to the hog hair brush.
Sometimes the hog hair is too harsh for the embroidered logos but if they're grimy try to brush with the threads and not against them so the logo doesn't get the fuzzies.
Then allow the leather to dry for an hour or more before conditioning and lacing.
The tack sponges you can also get at Tractor Supply Co, Tandy Leather Supply or feed stores and horse tack stores.
I usually have a larger hog hair brush that I keep dry that I will use on the glove before cleaning it, it knock off a lot of the build uo
Also have a larger horse hair brush that I use after conditioning, especially conditioning already assembled gloves, to get off any conditioner build up or crud under the laces.
