steering wheel restoration

[steveeb]

grand title, but looking for some advice before buying a cover.

I've got a well worn steering wheel (mushroom, leather) I've had a quick stab at cleaning with a bog standard leather cleaner conditioner, didn't really help, would love to rid it of the gritty crumbly feel, all ideas will be considered, and greatly appreciated.
Many thx in advance.

Hi Andy, my steering wheel is the same colour as yours, which coulor kit did you use? was it the beige or the cream/ivory. it looks a great product, just what I am looking for

I did this to my black wheel and it came out like new. Usually these things are a bit rubbish but in this case, it does exactly what its supposed to do, even with an amateur at the controls.

The kit i got from Buffalo comes with 3 colours to mix your self but the owner mixed it for me there and then, when you apply the solution you can help it dry with a hairdryer on low heat and it dries virtually instantly.

I suspect it was the Beige kit.

Yep, I did. Did my steering wheel a couple of months ago and am very pleased with the results. The steering wheel not only looks better but feels better too!

No problems applying the product, did about 4 layers after gently rubbing down the 'rough' bits of the steering wheel.

Very pleased and all for £15.99!
