Anyone successfully dyed their steering wheel?
 
Mine is looking decidedly horrid.

I know there are some good companies out there, but wondering if there is any practical experience here?

Ta,

I've not done the steering wheel, but I have done the handbrake with Woolies products. Changed it from boring standard grey to the same sandy colour as the seats. +++
Did think about doing the steering wheel too, but never got round to it. Not least because when I had a go on a larger area that needed "refreshing" (drivers seat bolsters) it didn't go well - probably my technique..... :rolleyes:

Haven't dyed mine but I was looking for a good leather cleaner as it was very shiny. I saw a thread somewhere that 'Doctor Leather' is one of the best cleaners. I bought the solution rather than the wipes and it is brilliant. A few wipes with it on a microfibre cloth and it cleaned up brilliantly. No more shiny steering wheel, it now looks as it should. Next job will be to do the seats.

For cleaning grab the DrLeather wipes and ensure you’ve got a decent, clean microfibre
For redying then I’d recommend Colourlock products every day of the week. Used their stuff on my S5, A8, A3 and TT.... awesome results and good tutorials on their website....
