vmzoller Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I think I used armor all general cleaning spray, combined with an old toothbrush and a cup of water to clean the brush off in. Water is absolutely necessary, my toothbrush went from white to anthracite, even with water and cleaning after. Okay good to know. Project for tmro At some point I wouldn't mind getting it re-wrapped by RedlineGoods or something. I could get Nordkap colored leather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdlarson Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Find a shop like Fabrion or ask a good upholstery shop who they use to repair or condition worn leather. When you find a place, ask them to refinish the wheel. I had mine cleaned, sanded and re-dyed to match its original color. It was only about $50 well spent, and done while I waited. Only thing, DO NOT use Armor All wipes on the refinished leather. Or get a wood grain wheel to go with that other nice new wood in your S.You can have it done in whatever color you want. Helps if you bring a swatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one Steve has in his possession is cherry so doesn't match the trim I just picked up. But I find one that's a good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Tried scheduling an appointment to have some dings pulled on the XC90 but the place is off this week. Did a few things on the R5 to keep that moving forward until the oil fittings show up tomorrow. Took the Land Cruiser to a friend's shop so he could do some work on it. Got an offer on it while it was at the shop, may end up selling it within a week of buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
