I wasn't paying attention and after cleaning my car last year, I used armor all... I was sliding all over that damn seat for a month! Might as well have put a helping of grease on it. What about leather conditioner?? good idea, bad idea?

I know what you mean about sliding all over the place. it was kind of crazy.

I use Doc Baily's, http://www.docbailey.com/. It doesn't make your seat slippery. It's a bit expensive but a bottle goes a long way, Ted

When I first got my bike it was dull-looking and had some mold or mildew or all over it. A buddy of mine said use bleach/water and a stiff bristled brush. Worked like a charm. The seat looks new now.

Original " FANTASTIC " is fine for cleaning, it won't shine it up but the last thing you want is to slide off your seat.

Or TUFF STUFF vynil cleaner, it's a foam that does a good job of cleaning vynil.

I used some stuff made by Armor All, but it's just a cleaner, not a shiney whatever. Armor-All Cleaning Wipes. It didn't make it shiny, but it did clean it great. It's also not slippery, which is a bonus.

OK my little secret

OK my little secret

I bought a "mint" Corbin Gunslinger and a Lady" seat for my 83 GS1100ED. This is the one that is black but the passenger section is red to match the bike.

Well the mint seat was so dirty it looked as if it had been handled by an army of mechanics for about 10 years and the grease would not come out.

I finally used carburetor/brake cleaner to wipe out the deeply en-grained grease. The material was not affected too bad and it did look much better after.

There it is out.
