cabin boyz Posted August 11, 2012 #1 Posted August 11, 2012 Because my pants are too tight or because my leg is too short, or BOTH, I scuffed my seat with my boot the other day. Twice. They won't come out. I tried leather (saddle) soap, leather polish. Even hand soap. It won't come out. Any home remedies.
msshearin Posted August 11, 2012 #2 Posted August 11, 2012 try black liquid shoe polish and looser pants
eusa1 Posted August 11, 2012 #3 Posted August 11, 2012 yamaha sells a seat leather care kit that i purchased several years ago, only to find that it's nothing more than black cream shoe polish, however it does take care of the boot marks and does a nice job on the boots too. you must be sure and buff it out well, or risk the black transfer to your pants. mike

djh3 Posted August 12, 2012 #5 Posted August 12, 2012 Try some armour all. Mink oil will sometimes help but again here you need to wipe it well. I had some leather care stuff for my seats in the convertible that worked pretty well on scuffs. Sheep skin cover?
saddlebum Posted August 12, 2012 #6 Posted August 12, 2012 Is it leather or vinyl ? If it is vinyl loctite sells a vinyl repair kit. If it is leather go to a shoe repair shop and get some leather dye. After it drys follow up with some lexol sold at most saddle tach shops.
friesman Posted August 12, 2012 #7 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) I find Armorall slippery and greasy , I found some stuff called renew/protect and its a 2 part process and does not leave a greasy residue on the motorcyclr seat and its safe to use on tires. ( I was always afraid of using armorall as I was afraid of it making the tires slip on the pavement) The Renew/Protect products I use now are called Blak and its a blackening compound, then you seal it with Gloz (if you want shiny finish) or Satin if you want a satin finish. It works great and I only have to use it twice a summer as it seems to last a long time. Here are some you tube vids about it. http://www.youtube.com/user/renewprotectvideo Brian Edited August 12, 2012 by friesman
