Tiny beads of super glue, sanding, perhaps a sprinkle of baking soda are exceptional at repairing gouges on real leather steering wheels. You'll still need a matching color to conceal the repair. Learn more about color matching here: rubnrestore.com/how-to/match-...

very impressive, the sanding of the leather had me troubled, but final outcome is perfect....😀

Thanks for the education! Ive been wrapping wheels with leather for 8 years now, thinking I might offer some repair services after I practice what you just shared! Thank you.

@greavous93 Год назад

4 years down the road now and I have used this advice many times! The first time I did this it was on a wheel from a Skyline that was a seamless wrap and ive never been good enough to pull those kind of results. I told the owner I can make it look new but not seamless (no skive machine). I then applied this technique to just the flawed areas that were the reason they wanted it recovered and in very little time the wheel was like new again! I didnt even charge the customer, I had learned so much for free I just passed it on, the first time. This video popped up in my notifications so I thought it was worth updating my experience. I have also used super glue to repair chips and cracks in wood steering wheels with the thick gloss coating. Fill, sand, fill sand until perfect and you can buff the repair areas away.

I'm late to the party, but this is absolutely amazing. I might try this on my 2003 Cobra steering wheel that has a 2inch long scratch in only one part of the wheel. Wish I could just send it in to you guys to fix! You have excellent craftsmanship.

Very cool!! Looks BRAND NEW!! I’m actually gonna restore the leather head rest of my favorite rocker recliner today. Of course I’m gonna use the Rub ‘n Restore! It works great however because of my “ALMOST BALD” buzz cut, every 6 months I need to touch it up. I don’t mind because your product is a lot of fun to use and basically “dummy proof.” If you don’t like the final product, you can always do it again until you’re happy!! I wish you did more videos! I really get excited when I get the notification!!! 👍❤️🌺😊

How would you suggest doing a repair like this without removing the steering wheel? Not comfortable with spraying something inside the car.

@nitrousman8882 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing this technique with us! That being said, a 'change in colour' hides a myriad of sins. If the plan is to retain the original colour, would you suggest planing on respraying the entire wheel with the colour used for the repair? (ie colour closest to what you originally had) Or, do you think a spot repair would be sufficient?

Okay, here is the 100.00 question....what leather paint do you use or recommend for a grey to black color change and is dye better than paint for longevity to U.V. rays and normal wear a steering experiances

@RubnRestore 9 месяцев назад

You're not going to have luck with dyes on a steering wheel, in my experience. More info why and the differences between dyes and finishes here: rubnrestore.com/how-to/leather-dye-vs-leather-paint/ Our products are acrylics. These wear naturally, but are not as durable when it comes to changing color on auto interiors or steering wheels. Heavier urethane or elastomeric coating like those made by SEM are initially a better choice. The disadvantage is that if / when these heavier coatings degrade, the stripping, sanding and prep can be more arduous. With an acrylic, there's no cracking, flaking paint that has to be evened out, and you just apply more. See here: rubnrestore.com/how-to/vinyl-and-leather-finishes-paints/

@martinroberts3977 4 года назад

Seriously??? You need leather filler which is flexible then you need to sand it and prime it then spray it with leather spray then seal it then polish it. Then the next owner can buy a new steering wheel as leather needs to be conditioned and when you condition it all that shit will come straight off!

@DrCeramicDallas 4 года назад

This is so wrong. You made it look 10 times harder than it should've been. You should apply the filler with the right tools (and not with a napkin...) only ONE time, and then sand everything down to perfection, paint and seal.
