Scuff on Leather Steering Wheel... :-(

[JediNut]

Hey Folks,

I know this is a "First World Problem"... but, I have a scuff on my brand new steering wheel (< 2K miles), right around the 7 o'clock position. I have no idea if it was there when I bought the truck, or I did it. All I know is that now that I know it's there, my hand keeps gravitating right to it! I really don't want it to get any worse. Does anyone have a recommendation (short of replacing the steering wheel) to treat it?

I would go to a place that sells/repairs leather coats and see what they have for cleaning or repair products. They also should be able to recommend a place that can repair it.

I know this is a "First World Problem"...

When in Rome:

On a serious note, I would confirm if it was leather or not, since the damage in the picture looks more consistent with vinyl, especially the damage near the stitching where the material is stretched tight. Consumer protection laws have been so eroded, that manufacturers are calling synthetic leather products leather and getting away with it.

You can't even buy Mayonnaise anymore without having to read the ingredients:

On the bottom of my steering wheel I have a stitching that had a thread or a small cut that drives me crazy. One of these days I'll take a peak and fix it.
