    "bleached" spot on spot seat

    I took the seat off my bike. it is recovered with black marine vinyl material.

    I set it in such a way that it set off a can of brake cleaner which "bleached" a part of the seat white.

    Any ideas on how to get the spot back to being black?

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        Call an upholstery shop or a marina and ask what they would do.

          Depending on which model your plans are for, I may be interested. Is it in this image here?



          I'd prefer a McFly or a Wells, but if it's the Dynamite no thanks.

              I'd op for the vinyl spray. I sprayed a set of vinyl buckets back in the 80's and it lasted for quite a long time and the products are much better now compared to 35 years ago.
