I had my OMP 330mm steering wheel lying around that came off my Jordan, it had seen better days, so I ordered a leather repair kit and gave it a try.
Here is the kit, comes with everything you need, to refurb a steering wheel.
And here is the wheel, it has gone shiny and is slightly patchy when you look at it carefully.
So I cleaned it up, degreased it and masked the centre up
So I used a Red scotch pad that came with the kit, and used the prep solution to key it all up.
I then degreased it again, and applied the Dye with the sponges provided.
Then I let it dry, and applied some Matt laquer, shiny laquer came with the kit also, and if you mix the Matt and shiny laquer you get a satin finish, I wanted a Matt effect.
I then let it all dry and de-masked it, put the horn back in for a quick pic.
Finished result, did a pretty good job for my first time, to say I did it less than 2 hours & I didn't follow the instructions
For anyone wondering where I got the leather repair kit from it was from this company on Instagram, very helpful, quick replys, and prompt delivery, kit is very informative and easy to use, perfect D.I.Y, only cost around £25-30 if I remember correctly.
