Cleaning supplies

i had a Corbin seat on a motorcycle years ago. Corbin sent instructions on its care and for a change I read them. Basically said not to use petroleum products for cleaning the seat cover as the petroleum will cause the cover to dry out. Of course I knew better and used Armor All on the sides of the seat to keep it new looking, 3 AZ summers and the seat cover was done. Sent it back and had it recovered and this time listened to them, this time after 3 years the seat looked brand new.
