How do you clean and maintain your seats? What product do you use? What to avoid?

I use the meguiars leather conditioner on my leather Russell Day Long saddle.
The old vinyl seats, I never did anything with them.

I like the way tire shine works on the vinyl. Leather conditioner for the leather.

Road King is a vinyl seat, I believe the Fatboy came with leather

I use Aerospace 303 Protectant on my Mustang seat (vinyl)
on leather, I would use Lexol leather conditioner

I use what Mustang Seat uses on all their seats. "Protect All." In fact I use Protect All one every piece on my bike!
