Default Leather care
I want to give my seat some good TLC and was just wondering what would be the best stuff to use, or what everyone else uses. I don't want my seat slick feeling.

Yes, the stock HD seat is vinyl,the armor all helps keep it from cracking and I like the leather type better because its thicker and easier to use than the regular....

Some Harley seats are leather, some are partial leather, and some are vinyl.

I recently tried the Harley rejuvenator for black leather and it did a fine job on both the vinyl and leather parts.
