Maintaining Selle Italia Flite Ti Saddle

My Flite saddle is starting to show signs of wear on the sides, presumably from where my legs are likely rubbing against them. Instead of being black, there are slight patches of a slightly blue-ish grey.

What's the best way to resolve this? A friend recommended using one of those polish sticks you use on trainers, but I have a slight nagging fear that would in some way be a terrible idea.

Any thoughts?

I think the polish would soon be transferred onto whatever you are wearing.

Bit of Brooks Proofride might slow the degradation a bit.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
