Do you get black fingertips from your black leather gloves?
My year-old black leather gloves now give me a black stain on two of my
fingers. I suspect gasoline got in there from a fillup, probably from my
hands. Now, every time I ride, I end up with a black-tipped finger or two.
Has this happened to you? It has been more than a month of black-tipped
fingers. Is there a good way to solve this problem short of buying new
gloves?

Stop sweating in your gloves.

The dye on some gloves bleeds when they get wet. I've had black stains
after a hard rain. Turn your gloves inside out and let the water or
gas dry.

I've had this problem with my cheap Tourmaster 'Summer' gloves. If my
hands get sweaty I get black stains all over my hands, which will wash
off but not easily. It didn't happen until the gloves were 4-5 years
old. I got another pair of gloves.
