Default Boot Scuffs on Seat

I posted this in the detailing forum and got no replies...Any help will be appreciated,

My passengers have left some boot scuffs on my leather seat. Any suggestions as to removing or minimizing these marks? Other than making them ride bare foot.....

A good leather cleaner of Armor All is what I have always used. If the leather is actually damaged then I don't know what to tell you.

Black liquid shoe polish works great. Of course you would need to do the whole seat. I did this to my RKC, seats and bags and it looked like new. It also made them darker which I liked. There are different brands of polish. One I used didn't look as good as the other brand. I can see what brand I used if you are interested in going this route. Lastly, it lasts a long time.

I thought about shoe polish, did you have any problems with it getting on clothing?

Dude - that is so harsh - You simply fold their feet back in half

Hey Kevin - Not sure how serious the marks are but I have used this companies products with great success and I promise ya I have no connection to them etc.....

Clean the seat with saddle soap. My wife does that all the time. (I do it every once in a while too)

No. I used the polish with the built in foam applicator.

Like Terry mention Armour All leather conditioner. The best solution is to ride solo and don't wear boots.
