I noticed that my seat had already started to fade in only 3 months in this Texas summer sun. On comparison with a new one in the Vespa Dealership I can see some fading. I've begun to experiment with different remedies. The best I've come up with is Petroleum Jelly. Works great , soaks right in, and doesn't leave the seat slick for riding.

Have any other ideas ?

Thanks, Dave

Check this website out, the Black-Again product seems to be highly rated.

Are you using the built-in seat cover?

Seat Preservation
Thankyou for the replys on my seat fading. I will check out The site you mentioned.

Thanks for the suggestion from Aloha Land. I have tried the cover under the seat, but seemed such a pain ,time consuming, and having to make sure that the latch doesn't catch when seat is lowered. Probably only use this feature when parked for some time.

Mahalo, Dave

Thanks for the website I will check it out on seat wear from the sun.
