Default Sticky seat

The seat on my bike is not as slippery as it used to be, which makes sliding around kinda difficult - I'm having to practically stand up on the pegs which is no fun mid-corner!

Anyone got a good fix?

I came across this solution by accident.

Find a car plastic polish, Back To Black for example, or, a dashboard polish.

use a little to polish your seat, and you'll be sliding around like a couple of bikini clad girls in a mud pit!

I think I might go with the KY option as it's less embarrassing than buying Mr Sheen or Pledge
