Can someone recommend a seat cleaner for Forza 125.
I can not find out which material the seat was made.

My guess is polyurethane. Any gentle cleaner will do fine, but avoid, at all costs, any seat dressing or product that is formulated to make the seat nice and shiny. These products (Armour-all is one in the US) make the seat dangerously slippery.

I use armour all matt, it’s fine. Furniture polish is the one to avoid for me.

You ..... are you referencing the cleaner or the protectant? The containers look similar - when I last used the protectant it was way too slippery.

The seats are vinyl and you can use any multi surface protector. A good one is aerospace 303, or poorboys natural look. Both need to be buffed off, so that the finish remains matte, which it will.

The protectant. Clean the seat with water, let it dry and just use it.

Am I underthinking things?

Er no.

Wash the bike, including the seat.

Use armour all matt

That's it.
