    Steering wheel refurb?

    My GT's steering wheel is looking a bit worse for ware, lost it's shine. Is there anything that would bring it back up again?

    Same with the stitching on it too, Cheers.

    Hmm the only proper way to sort this specific problem in my opinion is to take it to be re-trimmed at a professional auto trimmers, the downside is this costs anything from £50-£500 depending on the quality and time spent on the job.

    The cheapest way for fastest results is a high quality black leather dye in the closest shade to factory black as possible (although any black will realistically do!). Use a nice consistent application pad such as a small foam pad and spread evenly over the rim. But make sure you give it a good 48 hours to dry properly - I would also recommend removing the steering wheel to make a really good job.

    Last choice is just to give it a deep clean, Zymol do a good leather cleaner which smells good and reacts well to dirty and slightly worn leather, however for anything more than this see options above!!

    If the stitchings screwed up too, why don't you buy a half decent second hand one?
