I made the mistake of putting Armorall on my seat, once, and only once!!!! Maybe rubbing alcohol? I have some stuff for prepping before painting that removes waxes and silicone's, that I got from NAPA years ago. Can't remember the name of the stuff off the top of my head...

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Let your friends ride the bike a few times.  Everything will just rub off onto their pants.

Hey, worked for me!  ;D

'Might try "Awsome" cleaner (any Dollar Store).

A 20 oz spray bottle @$1.00. No acid, bleach, ammonia (true because I'm very allergic to ammonia & bleach and it doesn't bother my hands). A really good cleaner. 'Just might work on armorall, too. A buddy in the used car business told me about it. He uses a lot of it.

Shellac thinner..AKA methanol will take it right off.  Just use it liberally on a cloth..then let dry out.  Softens/conditions the Naugahyde also..

I think if you want to keep from degrading the Vinyl further with solvents, I would just let it wear off.

Your ass sliding around on the seat every time you accelerate or brake should scrub it off in short order.  ;) :D

I'd say use goof off 2(for plastic) if nothing else works. but I would think alcohol would be fine. simple green, full strength?
