    Vinyl restorer for the seat

    I know better than to use Armor All on my seat (sorta like greasing it). Are there any vinyl 'restoring' products out there that will improve the appearance of a somewhat weather stained seat without making it slippery?

    The bike shop I hang around uses this stuff for motorcycles that brings back the plastic panels and works on seats without making them greasy or slippery. I'll try to find out what it is.

        Mother's Back to Black is far less slippery than Armor all. Just test an area first to see if it is to your liking.

          This works as well as Back to Black, but is a spray-on.

          I can't guarantee-guarantee this is one of the best since I haven't seen long term results. Currently, I use BtB since I already had it for my car.

          And thank you about the bike! I think I need to update that picture. New seat and new rear signals.

            +1 for Mothers Back to Black.
            I use it on all the rubber and plastic, much neater than ArmourAll.
