Anyone have tips on cleaning the gel seat?

I have a scuff on mine. Tried a damp cloth (no change) and an eraser (making it worse!) but it's almost as if the suede has been scraped off by a boot being dragged over it.

Does anyone have any advice please? Thanks, TFT

What sort of gel seat do you have, exactly? If it's Triumph's, I think you'll find that's vinyl, not suede.

Thanks - yes, it's the triumph one, and when I typed that I thought "it's not suede" but didn't know what it was lol. The brushed, soft finish has been "brushed" a bit hard on mine with a boot! Wont come off with a rubber or soapy cloth... so I guess I have to live with it?
