Before i spend money on one of these fancy leather restorer products, Has anybody got any tips or advice on how to best clean NC30 seats. I have an '89 NC30 with a red pillion seat that is looking a bit tired and dirrty, so want to give it a clean and try and bring back the red... any suggestions

Swarfega and a Brillo pad (or very fine ScotchBrite) :mrgreen:

Is your pillion pad actually leather or is it faux leather?

Looking at it, i would say it's more like a vinyl...

Once you've used the Swarfega to clean and de-grease, you could try T-Cut for the colour :peace:

I'm serious, it did wonders on my old FZ750 seat, that was red too :mrgreen: Oh, just don't use the metallic one :peace:

I bought some red vinyl and recovered the seat, all you need is a heavy duty staple gun.
