Afternoon all. My steering wheel is losing the colour from its leather. I think it needs reconnolising. Any idea...

(1) How much it would cost?
(2) Whether reupholstering it is a better idea?
(3) How much both reconnolising and reupholstering respectively would cost?
(4) If there is a good one of either / both somewhere near / in the New Forest?

Merci beaucoup!

A mate used a kit from www.leatherexpress.co.uk that seemed to work pretty well and wasn't very expensive.

They are based down in portsmoth by the looks of things. 02392 621800.

The other product i would reccommend is Gliptone leather cleaner followed by the conditioner, gives very good results and brings leather up very well.
