Default Slippery seat cover

After taking out my Polaris for my first ride I am not able to ignore how slippery the seat cover is. It is a factory Polaris seat with not rips in the vinyl so I don't want to replace it with new vinyl if I don't have too. It seems like the previous owner lathered it up with Armor All. Does anybody know if there is some kind of spray that can make the seat more slip resistant? I noticed the 2017 model at the dealer that does have an improved slip resistant vinyl but I could not find anything like it on eBay to reupholster it with? How about a cleaner that can take off the Armor All before I try to reupholster? Thnx for your replies : )

Try mixing 2 quarts of water, 1/2 cup of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of dish soap. Dip a rag in the mix and wipe seat. May take a few dips and wipes, but it should get it off, if it's armorall.
