Rubbed off patch - back of the steering wheel

[GLK]

I did something very stupid a few days ago - noticed what I thought was a tiny bit of dirt, on the top of the back of the steering wheel - the plastic textured thingy, not leather.

So I rubbed it, not aggressively I might add, and without any solvents - just a baby wipe, and to my horror realised: it was a tiny bald patch, and now it has grown:

Is there anything I can do to fix it?

I now wish Jack re-trimmed my own steering wheel, not a donor one he sourced, as mine was perfect ..

I did the same thing on another piece of trim, sounds really odd I know but some coconut oil on it masked it mine

There must be a more professional solution out there though

I shall try that, thanks Abs!

So, it's going to smell like Bahamas in the car now ... I can live with that

Good luck David, not sure if it’s dependent on the type of plastic. Mine was on the door card on the CLK but it looks the same

Haha yes that doesn’t sounds too bad does it?

Thanks Abs.
There's a vinyl repair spray been suggested - I'll try that too, if no joy with coconut oil.
