Wear them.
Happens to my 'chrome' gloves all the time - usually after mowing

the
lawn.
Alternatively, take them to bed with you!


I don't _think_ you're meant to do anything to chrome leather (the
scuffed grey kind) other than just use it. "Hydrophane" or "Flexalan"
from a horsey shop are good treatments for leather, though: I paint
it on with a brush, and a pint tin lasts for years if you aren't
doing a tack-room full of stuff. (If it didn't last years, I suppose
I'd be talking about a 500ml tin!)
