if it is real leather harley makes a leather salve for treating seats and saddlbgs. I have used it at length and people are always asking me how I get my seat so black. you are right, armorall looks terrible. Remember if there are any really bad spots you can touch up with black shoe polish.

Or you can use lexol if it is leather or Vinylex if it is not leather.

Ditto on that. Usually they just need a little nurishment and they will darken back.

Doc Bailey's works fine, I've used it. Use a very little. This is from their site FYI

"DBLeather Black works on all black smooth leather DBLB is excellent on all smooth black leather or Vinyl. Incredible on Jackets, boots, motorcycle seats, saddle bags, chaps and leather furniture or just about anything you want black."
