+1 I use it all the time when I get wax on the engine. I've even used it to get some of the seat.

Once it's dry and buffed off it doesn't rub off on your clothes. When you buff it off the seat...none gets on your a$$. Use it on your boots and it won't make the bottom of your jeans black like some polishes do. Good stuff and the bottle lasts forever. I'm still on my first bottle 3 years later.
Used Doc Bailey's on the seat of my 08 RKC and it worked beautifully. Make certain that it is dry (don't have to use a lot) and then lighty buff it in. Not slippery when sitting on it and like StreetGlider already stated...it will not transfer to your clothes. +++

Doc Bailey's will cover it. You might want to try the peanut butter or WD40 trick first to see if the stuff will come off the surface.

It almost looks like paint overspay that someone tried to wipe off. Again, it is very light, but can really be seen in the sunlight.

I paid next to nothing for this seat and it is in very good condition except for these slightly visible blems..

UPDATE (23 Feb '10): I purhcased the Doc Bailey's for my seat and WOW! This stuff is great. Thanks for all the tips/advice.
