NEVER EVER use Armor All on a seat! Don't ask me how I know.

I use that leather stuff that Harley makes and I like it. I've also used Mequires Interior Detailer and I like that as well. Neither one seem to make the seat slick.

Cool

Just (restored) my bags on my '99 RKC. Used the Kiwi shoepolish... smoothed out the liquid and let dry. Then applied the paste and buffed it out with a brush. Did the Corbin saddle as well.

It's "slicker" than it was before. Hell, use some uncommon sense with it!!

Some act as if they've got Busa's...

Made the mistake of using Amor All myself on an old Suzuki GS750. Had to hang on for dear life for a while until that crap wore off!!

Fix it for ya.
ArmorAll sucks! I have seen a TON of car dashes that had been dried out by the product. And yes, it makes it slick as cow crap on a hot summer's day.

I used Doc Bailey's on mine. It was a little slick for a day or two, but it restores the color and luster without making it shiny. I bought it to use on my saddle bags, which had some scuffs. It hid the scuffs and made them look alot better, so I used it on my seat and then on my boots. Amazing stuff. On top of that, it waterproofs.
