Title: Best products for seat care?
Post by: screaminCVO on April 04, 2013, 01:35:04 PM
What works well on the non leather saddles? On the CVO RG outside the leather inlay is that vinyl?

Any product that you feel works well on leather, will equally work well on vinyl. I use Lexol but there are a ton of products out there.

For non-leather, I don't think it makes much of a difference.  I've used leather care, Armour All, etc.

Mustang Seats recommends Protect All

Mustang seats and accessories are made of the highest quality vinyl and will retain their looks for years without any extra care. Mustang seats can be washed with any mild, non-abrasive detergent. Mustang recommends Protect All™, a do-it-all type of cleaner that cleans, polishes, waxes, treats and protects every surface. Protect All™s water repellent carnauba wax formula provides durable protection against all elements. The quality of carnauba wax, incorporated into the formula, is largely responsible for providing durable protection. Simply spray, wipe, and polish dry for a beautiful, durable, lasting shine.

Protect All's™ anti-static property is ideal for treating vinyl to a clean, dry natural appearance. It leaves NO oily film to attract dust and dirt. With regular use, Protect All™s highly effective UV absorber additive helps to protect all surfaces by absorbing the UV light rays and blocking them from reaching the finish.

Been using Aerospace 303 on vinyl and leather seats for years.  No silicone.  Just good UV protection and dust resistance.  Keeps it soft without the silly shinyness other products can give your seat.
Do the research.  You'll be convinced, too.

For vinyl, nothing. It's plastic. Just rinse with water. Cheapest material out there.

Pledge
Title: Re: Best products for seat care?

Pledge is oil based, for a good reason due to what it is for. I wouldn't use it on something I sit on as the oil will slowly weep back out in the sun/heat. Don't believe me, sit a old end table in sun, see what happens. And oil is slick.
To many good products from automotive industry to use a home care product, for me. IMHO. I know  alot of folks on here use it, not sure why and I am sure they will tell me in this thread, but not me ever.

I live in Texas now, Fla for the past 15 years, pledge is good for everything. Reason #1 it works #2 its cheap #3 nothing like a lemony fresh scented Harley Gleaming in the sun.

I disagree, Pledge is not good for anything except antique furniture, definitely not your modern day furniture. Wood furniture, what it is designed for, was formerly lacquer or oil finish and needed supplement (Pledge or Murphy's or equal) to keep the oil in the wood and resist cracking and drying out and help protect it from moisture. Nothing has oil finish now or lacquer. Everything is poly whatever based due to eco rules.
So Pledge is still out there and does smell nice, but it really has no use in this century. IMHO. But if you like it, keep using it, Pledge/Johnson & Johnson employees need a job.

Been using this on all my leather right down to my leather belt. Water just beads off my leather jacket and it seals the seams. You can pick it up at your local shoe cobbler

Pledge is also great for attracting bees. They love the smell.

I've been using the HD leather preservative that came in the CVO kit. 

Seat looks good.

Protect-All. I started using it on a lot of things when Mustang Seats recommended it on their stuff.
