What is the best product for cleaning up the seat on a Kubota zero-turn? The seat is some kind of tough plastic. Will Armor All do it?

You do not want ArmorAll on your seat unless you don't mind sliding all around. I use a diluted grease remover for most everything on my equipment, including plastic and vinyl.
If you can stand the smell, Simple Green works well, but I prefer Oil Eater diluted 50% with water. I use it straight for real degreasing on metal.
A good product for plastic, vinyl, paint, glass, rubber, etc is ProtectAll. It's not a cleaner, but will bring back the color of faded plastics, and provides UV protection. Similar to Armor All, without the slick surface afterwards.

I use B52 mixed with some water. Best cleaner I've found. I buy it in 5 gal cans.

For dry messes try a leaf blower.

For wet messes try depends!

This seat looks like it has mildew in the little wrinkles they put in it to make it look like leather. I think I may have to use bleach.

The rule of thumb I always go by is use the least caustic cleaner first, like maybe Dawn and water, then work up from there, Fantastik, 409, etc.

After it's clean, the next thing I would do is put a cover on it. I like this one from Amazon.

Simple Green will do it. Wintergreen smell that I like. I use it on motorcycle seats, truck seat, tractor seat. I used to use it on the fabric of my ultralight plane. You can buy a spray bottle of it.

There is another product, Lucus brand, sold in Walmart where they have all the car wax, polish, etc. Its for "Car Interiors" or somesuch. I bought a bottle and use it now and then on the seats of my two cars. They are never very dirty but this product leaves a shine but is not slippery.
