Repairing Leather Steering Wheel Wear?

[Robbo VS3]

Has anyone used anything to repair wear and tear on their leather wrap steering wheels? Mine looks really crappy at the moment and would love to fix it. Im having the same issue with the leather gear shifter.

for the 250 it costs to wrap in real leather, youre better off buying a new wheel.

you can't repair this, the wheel needs to be replaced or recovered.

The texture etc wears off, they just aren't the same once they wear.

I'll have to take some pics of my wheels, one is worn one is not. Some cleaner/rejuvenator just won't cut it IMO.

If you look at the OP's pics the coloured coating has worn off and is patchy - eventually it will all wear off and it'll be just smooth and crappy looking.

Sorry mate that's just plain wrong. That kit I posted will repair ANY damage to the leather on a leather steering wheel, its not a rejuvenator, its a full on multi-stage leather steering wheel repair kit made to repair wheels off 50 year old cars etc.

I have used it and done it, they come up like new. With mine I wanted to keep some of the battle scars, but if i had wanted I could have made it better than new.

OP, save yourself some cash and give it a go.
