Hi everyone,

I own a vespa GTS 125 with about 2000miles on it. I recently noticed my seat is getting pretty dirty (it's a beige seat, not real leather), so I wondered if there is anyway to get it looking clean again.

Thanks so much

I use something made by armorall that I use to clean my car seats. It's called multisurface car cleaner or something like that. It works great.

Magic eraser works wonder on Vinyl. Lidl do a cheap version if you have the German discount store in your country.

Yep. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melamine_foam for the details, but Mr. Clean brand sells those pads in the US, too.

Be careful with Armor All -- it will make your seat dangerously slippery and will damage the paint on your bike!

No. I made the mistake of using regular armorall on the seat once. Way too slippery. This stuff is different, it's just made by the same company.

A fair wage for the privilege at any price.

Hi,

Thanks everyone for the replies (even the sarcatic ones).
