What can you wash it with so it aint so SLIPPERY!!!!!!!!

Sandpaper,LOL. Kevin

It Worked good but looks funny. Hard to get all that vinyl off!!

I ARMORALL mine., which makes it slippery, but the slipperyness wears off pretty quick.

:bash: watchout for the AMORALL POLICE :whistling:

I personally use Amorall too on my seats and black plastic for 15yrs and recommend it

But remember the AMORALL POLICE :cussing: will tear into you if you say that Amoral is good for the seats

Sorry for the rant :lmao:

I've found STP Tire Black to be excellent for bringing out the shine and providing a non slip surface.

Seriously though, give the pledge a shot. Most people laugh, but my seat looks great and I stick to it well. If you don't like it, go back to what you're currently using. No harm, no foul right?

I second the use of Pledge. It makes the seat look like new and you will not slide around like when using ArmorAll. In fact, I use Pledge on all the plastic panels too.

If you are looking to make it less slippery after using a polishing/protectant then nothing works quite like gasoline. A little on a rag will take that shine right off the seat and not leave another slippery residue.

If you want a no slip seat when the factory seat is real slick then you might want to think about changing the cover material or at least adding some where your butt sits on the seat.

Who uses thier seats these days? Isnt this the era of stand up riding, :p

I know what helped me on my sled was I put that 3m sand paper stuff that people put on door steps that has the adhesive on the one side.....and put it on my floor boards. Really really cheap to do and compleatly stops foot slippage, and if you have less foot slippage you have less butt slippage :dazed:

In this pic you can see a lil strip of the 3m material I am talking about, most of it was placed in the middle and rear of the floor boards as you cant stick it up in the front of the floor board with all the lil dimples the factory puts on them for traction. I also got the traction strips for my sled that go on the outer edge of the floor boards and they are worth thier wieght in GOLD. I think I paid maybe 20$ for them........those 2 combined equals a non slipping floor board. Good investment.

just buff it lightly with a 3M scotchbrite pad won't hurt the vinyl use it with 409 or a cleaner wipe dry then buff it. slipperiness also has alot to do with the bibs or pants you wear.my old bibs were really slippery but my new ones SKIDOO Dakotas really grip ruff material.might try something with clothing rather than mess with the seat.

Great question and suggestions. I rode the last 2 days and almost flew off my machine a couple times cause the seat was so darn slick. I never thought about my nylon bibs - I am sure they do not help.

I also thought of adding black stick-on patches on the seat - they wold blend in and add great traction. Then there was my idea to use velcro, but.......

Could you imagine that?

Guys, this sounds nuts, but I've been using it for a while and it seems to work pretty good. WD-40. Not a lot, but given a chance, it soaks in keeping the material from drying out, looks pretty good too. No slick surface when done.

after spilling some gas on the seat, it works very very well,,,,

then again a LOT of duct tape covering the seat would make it less slippery!!!!
