My vantage seats on 2015 Tandem Island are deteriorating. The structure of the seat is made of graphite and is oxidizing. Graphite fibers are being released which irritate users' skin like fiberglass. Hurt and itch.
Is there a product I can apply to stabilize the graphite?
Thanks!!

The seats are glass-filled nylon. Maybe vinyl paint?

That had to be a lot of direct sun exposure.
