It's the stock leather seat that's showing some light staining along the edges of it & I know it wasn't stained before I washed the bike. I'm pretty sure that the can doesn't say anything about not using it around leather? I didn't spray it directly on the seat, but for you guys that use S100 you know that it sprays out kinda "misty" when you apply it on your bike. Unless you take the seat completely off, it's impossible not to get some on your seat.

HATE that S100 stuff! No matter how well I rinsed the bike, I always had spots that I had to rewash to get rid of. I switched to HD sunwash and LOVE it. Gets the bugs off easy and never leaves spots. I follow up with the Air Force Blaster, with just a few touchups with the dry cloth, perfect.

Just curious...what did that Air Force blaster cost you? How long to completely dry your bike more or less? Been thinking about getting one myself?

Are Harley seats (stock and Sundowner) made of leather? I thought they were a thick vinyl?

Cloud09King......I bought it 3 years ago, paid about $170. I can wash and dry the whole bike in less than 20 min. What I like is getting the water out of every nook and cranny including allen head bolts, so you don't see corrosion building. Never have to use a rag either on the windshield.

Simple Green works great on everything, use full strength on engine, (let set a few minutes) and dilute in wash bucket for paint.

I believe the directions say not to let it dry.
