Just did this on my 1996 DC2 Momo steering wheel and honestly I’m shocked with how well it’s turned out, going through the different stages you could see the transformation. Cost £25 in the U.K. off eBay and it’s worth every penny of that!!
Your comment made me buy the kit and I just received it I recently bought a dc5 type r momo steering wheel and I’m confident this will restore the wheel
Wow! how great to have a product that works!! Just did the steering wheel on my 2013 Mazda CX5 with 160,000 miles on it. Follow the instructions. Use the hair dryer to aid in speeding up. Do not wipe on the dye: that just smears it on. Dabbing worked perfectly. Thanks for great directions both printed and on the video!
Just finished my second wheel. On my Range Rover this time. It’s looks nice but it’s rough. It’s smooth after the binder (sanded and cleaned after binder). Very light coats of the color and it looks nice as it builds but then it is just rough feeling. Edit: looks like wet sanding very lightly on the rough spots with the 1200 grit paper works well. Very lightly and wetting the paper first.
Just did my wheel on a 2011 Mercedes E550. It went fairly smooth but I think you need to make sure the binder is really dry between coats and especially before the 1200 grit sanding. Use the hairdryer and give it about 20 minutes. The video doesn’t really tell us times so it seems like it’s all a fast process. I initially cleaned with 50/50 vinegar water and it did well. Everything else went smooth but I would give adequate time for the binder to dry and also wear gloves before using the color to save some hand-scrubbing. Definitely use a towel around the wheel so nothing accidentally gets on anything else. I also would use blue tape on the steering wheel trim to avoid having to clean the binder and colorant off. So far it looks pretty good. Not perfect bc of user error. But much much better than it was. Next up is the wheel on my Range Rover. I’ll do that tomorrow.
I have just finished the leather wheel of my daughter's '02 Mini one. Looks like new again. Easy enough to do for any hobyist, just follow the steps in this video. Worth every penny. Next up, the wheel of my own Audi S6. There is enough product in the kit for use for more than one steeringwheel.
I've just done this on my M5 and it worked really well. One thing I was concerned about was the coloured stitching on the wheel but it didn't prove to be a problem. I used detailing APC to clean the wheel making sure the stitching was especially clean. The leather in between the stitching was fine so I was just careful not to get the dye on that. It's a good match for the original colour (black is usually fairly easy to match) and it's not obvious which bits haven't been recoloured (which was just the bit where the stitching was). I had been going to mask off the stitching but I decided not to because I thought that might leave a more obvious line. I cut one of the sponge pads into quarters to enable me to be a bit more accurate with the application of the dye and it worked very well. My wheel was a bit discoloured but was generally in good condition. I used about a quarter of the degreaser and alcohol cleaner but probably only about 1/5 of the sealeant and dye. I might dig out a paintbrush and touch up a few tiny scratches there are in the leather elsewhere. All things considered, I think this was very good value.
I did found out about this product a week back and dame I had some bad condition wheel by using car daily and just simple use of this product made my steering wheel look so good and again no worries how it looks, now the only part is to see how long this dye last and I than have to use some repairs,so far I recommend this.
That's where I went wrong. I just applied a self sealing leather colourant straight on without prepping surface. It pretty much came straight off onto my hands even after drying overnight. As they say its all in the prep work
Just ordered this for my 2012 Audi A3. Forgot about the cross stitching so will have to be careful to avoid that! Really hope the results are as good as the video
I repaired my steering wheel a few days ago and it looks great, I do have some rough spots though, I think I used a bit too much colorant, does anybody know a way to smooth those spots out? Or will they smooth out with use
Hi, it can sometimes feel a little rough depending on how much binder was applied. It will soften with use or if it is very stiff, you can redo the process.
Are you able to do the same on the plastic part of the wheel. I have a bit thats worn out by the m badge and wanted to know if it was possible to bring that out as well
Hi, you can use the colour provided in the kit on the plastic. However, we don't recommend using the other products on hard plastics as these are designed to be used on leather.
Hi, you can use our repair products alongside the Steering Wheel Repair kit. We recommend using Alcohol Cleaner and Liquid Leather Degreaser when repairing a steering wheel due to the oils transferred from skin contact. These aren't included in the Complete Leather Repair Kit. I hope this helps.
Just did my mercedes steering wheel with this set, it tured out ok. The finish is nice, however looks a little too dull in my opinion. I wish it were more satin. Is there anything I can do to make it less dull? I know I can rub leather wax coating, but was hoping for a long term solution. Did anyone have simmilar experience?
Hi, our Steering Wheel Repair Kit leaves a satin finish. If you are looking for a gloss finish, you can use our Leather Finish Kit in gloss www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/leather-finish-kit
@@FurnitureClinic Thank you for the reply. I redid it again, and this time it resulted much better! I figured the problem with my previous attempt, it was done in direct sun and dried too quickly as I was applying it. This time I did it in a cool room, with multiple very thin layers, used swirling motion with the sponge instead of dabbing. It looks very satin now! I am happy with the result.
Hi, manipulating the leather with your fingertips should restore the grain to the leather. We also have a bottle of Grain Repair, which you dab on the wheel with a cocktail stick to recreate the peaks and valleys of the grain before applying the paint.
@@xxlevis12able yes worked spot on, also bought there leather care kit for my seats and seams to be good product! In contact with someone called rachael. Amazing help for my bmw!
I want to order this product but i want to ask you something. After you used the sandpaper and then applied the color to it. Could you see where you used the sandpaper a little bit more on some spots. Because i want my steering wheel to look matte and with tiny tiny dots and creases. like real leather. Like they show the steering wheel in the end. because i dont want to get catfished haha.
Hi! I would like to to use this on my audi S5 steering wheel, but it has light grey stitching. Is it possible? I guess i will not use the black paint on the stitching?
Hi! yes, this is possible. You will just need to be careful around the grey stitching. Using a fine paint brush around this area will help with precision.
I did notice the wheel was very smooth after the binder and before the colorant but now after the color has dried it’s not very smooth. Rough finish. Any idea why?
Hi there, sometimes air bubbles, or minute particle clumps can for in the paint causing it to feel a little uneven. If you give it a light sand this should fix it. If you do need to apply any more paint I would recommend running it through a coffee filter/muslin cloth first, just to avoid any further issue.
Followed your US link and searched your site but there was no leather-steering-wheel-repair-kit and a site search yielded no results? Is this available in the U.S.?
I bought this kit and finally found some time to do it.. only problem is two of the bottles (Alcohol Cleaner, and Liquid Degreaser) were completely empty.. almost as if they didn’t screw down the lids enough and both leaked out.. slightly disappointed.. hopefully customer service can somehow help me out..
Anybody knows if this could be used on a 2017 Focus ST steering wheel? Unsure if it’s leather or fake leather. I scratched it with my nail by accident and I cannot polish the scratch out but this would repair it if it was real leather. Any suggestions?
Two questions about this kit: 1. Can it be used on heated steering wheels? 2. Can I use a normal automotive leather cleaner afterwards, like AutoGlym Leather Cleaner?
Hi, just used this product and did an overall good job. I follow steps etc... Sanding and smooth. But after applying colour/sealant the steering wheel feels and looks rough again. How do I fix this? Thanks 😊
@@nadim9320 hey bud, I just did it a 2nd time to be honest to fill in patchy areas. After the 2md run I left it the entire weekend to dry and cure. Felt a bit sticky on hands for a few days of driving but that disappeared and now it's nice and smooth and colour hasn't faded 1 year on. I also used the Mrs hair dryer to dry it faster when applying.
Hi, we recommend using Ultra Clean to remove any dirt or grime from the surface. You can then move on to sanding the steering wheel to begin the restoration.
I just tried it today but unfortunately it didn't work... I followed this video and it all went well until I applied the leather cleaner. I've applied a thin layer and because it's alcohol it evaporated very quickly so I saw it drying...To my surprise the steering wheel felt very sticky so I used a hairdryer to be sure it was dry. After 5 mins it still felt sticky so I thought that's how it should be. The next step was applying the leather binder and it made things even worse... Still convinced it was supposed to be like that I started sanding the steering wheel about 10-15mins later. Now My steering wheel is full of sanding dust which sticks in the leather binder. I've put my steering wheel aside to let it fully dry so I can sand it down again with the 1200 grid and hopefully apply the color afterwards...
@@ewergarcia6401 Sorry about this Ewer it is due to hazardous goods unfortunately. Depending on the condition of the steering wheel you could order some Self-Seal Colourant to restore the colour of the wheel. This is also available on our US website.
Hi, As long as the instructions have been followed properly, you should expect to see the same life span as the original. For example, if it lasted five years before becoming damaged, it should easily last another five years after repair, if used in the same way.
Hi, I have forgotten to use the Leather binder and I applied the dye straight after cleaning the steering wheel. Can I apply the Leather binder on top as a protective layer, or shall I not bother?
Hi, the Leather Binder is designed to be applied before the colour. If the colour has already been applied, there won't be any benefit to applying the binder over this.
Once applied to leather the coating is as strong as new leather, this has been tested to British & European Standards. It is difficult to give an exact timescale as to how long it will last, but we are confident to say that it will last as long as your leather originally lasted.
Hi, yes this will work to improve the scratches. If you feel they are quite deep, we also have a Complete Leather Repair Kit. www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/leather-repair-kit

Hi @FutureClinic my wheel has heavy build up of grease on it, tried to clean it today and never got near it. Is the procedure sure to remove the build up on my 18 year old steering wheel? Regards Roy
Hi! Was wondering why use sponge instead of paint brush to apply the paint? What are the differences both when applying the paint and in the final result? Thank you.
Hi, a sponge allows you to get into the grain of the leather and prevents any streaks or brush strokes. It will give the best results in comparison to using a brush. I hope this helps.
"long lasting" - interestingly, if you start rubbing it as a test to see how it will hold up.. You'll see the paint coming off quickly. The problem is that the people that tried these and the company that sells this never states it afterwards that it won't last. Color is one thing. The other thing is when you repair cracks. It really works for a few months because that filler keeps shrinking for some reason also/or as you use your seat the seat doesn't know that the crack is filled up. So it will keep stressing the same exact crack. The result is again, after a few months your crack is there just as before the repair. These are temporary fixes! It turns out it would have been cheaper to change the leather as a solution instead of doing "repairs" 2 or 3 times a year. Just a tip.
@Jay They didn’t charge me anything. Apparently they have a guy who shows up once a week and repairs steering wheels on their pre owned vehicles and any vehicles under warranty.

How do I get this stateside. It doesn't appear on the U.S. website. Thanks,
"long lasting" - interestingly, if you start rubbing it as a test to see how it will hold up.. You'll see the paint coming off quickly. The problem is that the people that tried these and the company that sells this never states it afterwards that it won't last. Color is one thing. The other thing is when you repair cracks. It really works for a few months because that filler keeps shrinking for some reason also/or as you use your seat the seat doesn't know that the crack is filled up. So it will keep stressing the same exact crack. The result is again, after a few months your crack is there just as before the repair. These are temporary fixes! It turns out it would have been cheaper to change the leather as a solution instead of doing "repairs" 2 or 3 times a year. Just a tip.
This is for steering wheels. Not for cracked seat leather. That’s not what this product is for and wouldn’t work.
why not clear coated ?
Hi, the colour used has a built-in sealant, meaning a clear coat isn't required
My m sport steering wheel on my bmw f10 LCI started to peel. Will this kit help to repair the peeled section?
It will, I just had this done by BMW and it looks brand new.
@Jay They didn’t charge me anything. Apparently they have a guy who shows up once a week and repairs steering wheels on their pre owned vehicles and any vehicles under warranty.
Hi, I’m having real trouble applying the leather colour/seal. As I apply it, it starts to gather into small clumps… any tips anyone ?
Hi, I am sorry to hear you having trouble with the application. Please contact us directly at enquiries@furnitureclinic.co.uk
Where is finish coat?
Hi, the product used to restore the colour is our Leather Repair Paint. This is an all-in-one product that doesn't require a sealant.
...ok, seals, but something to protect from future damage...
Hi, to clean and protect your leather steering wheel going forward we recommend our Leather Care Kit, www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/leather-care-kit
Idk the leather lost its texture its too smooth
You did notice the bit that said "light sanding" didn't you?
👍🏻
Can you only do this on a removed steering wheel?
Hi, don't worry your steering wheel can be either attached or removed to use our kit.
Does this process work with perforated leather steering wheels?
Hi Rob, yes. Please simply ensure that any residue of Binder/filler inside the perforation is removed using a cocktail stick.
