Repairing Leather Steering Wheel Wear?

[VRSenator065]

I have mate, and it will do it, anyhow I have other things to be getting on with, the Op can make up his own mind.

I used on my SV6 s steering wheel a product called collonel , I think that how it's spelt, it worked ok for me , it just takes a few applications .

from the looks of the kit VRsen posted, it looks like an epoxy repair kit, which would infact re-coat the top layer.

whats the kit cost tho VR?

$60 delivered.

happy to be corrected, I'd be amazed if it could indeed hide the blemishes.

Mate I try not to post unless I know what I am saying is true, and I don't use or do anything without doing the research first. The wheel on my Senator was stuffed and it came up a treat, it works.

I've seen the kit VRSenator posted used, it does seem very effective, it was more expensive than that though. But there is no colour (that I found anyway) which will match our interiors, so I went the replacement route. If you got standard replacement stuff you could get a new wheel and shifter for around $350 I reckon.

Mate I did mine, seriously came up like new, this is the stuff you want, about $60 for the kit.

That looks like it might be worth a try mate, your wheel came up really good. I can only find one kit on ebay and it is $77

Yeah thanks ari, $55 is all good and well but I don't want an omega wheel on my SSV. The cheapest "NEW" SSV wheel on ebay is $400

$60 when I did mine, looks like $65 here;

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.

I`m impressed with that mate
