leather steering wheel refurb
Discussion
Hi all,
My current car (seat leon cupra r 225) has a faded steering wheel, I looked on seatcupranet and a chap posted a topic on how to refurb this particular steering wheel as they are known for fading and not wearing age well, the pictures from the thread as missing (thanks photobucket ) anyway... I watched a video where a guy applied some leather shoe polish.
I lightly cleaned the area with warm water and a pad (as suggested) and have conditioned it with leather cleaner, finally adding shoe polish to restore form and colour.
Results are mixed, it looks better but not great in all honesty.
Any suggestions on how to bring it back to its former glory would really help me out.
Thanks guys!
