Default Scuff marks on seat

What do you guy's use to remove marks from your seat? When my wife got off the bike tonight she marked the seat with the sole of her shoe.
Thanks

Is the seat leather or vinyl?

I think it is vinyl. It's on an electroglide classic.

Although I havent tried it, other detailers that I network with have used a Mr Clean Eraser on leather seats so it may do the trick. I would remove seat and test on the underside first.

Try Clean and Shine that you can buy at the grocery store or at Wal-Marts. I'm assuming you have a minor scuff?

Thanks for the tips, the scuffs are only minor just a grey mark across the seat.
Thanks again

Just as many have praised lemon pledge. I use clean and shine for many things. I would try the clean and shine and see if it removes the scuff mark. I use it on many leather items without a problem. Let us know how you make out with the scuff removal.

I use Vinylex made by lexol. Get it at Pep boys. It works great. I have been using it for years and ahve never had a problem...

been there done that - vinyl that is. you or she will wear it off on your next ride or when you wash the bike. IMO no big deal.
