I've bought a 2nd hand factory momo steering wheel for my r34. But on the right side of the wheel, the clear coat is worn and the leather started to crackle and sometimes becomes sticky. So I'm just wondering if anyone have a DIY solution to it. Thanks! :D

Yup, they do.

I've been talking about the PPC Co products (http://www.ppcco.com.au/leatherique.htm & http://www.ppcco.com.au/kits6.htm) on the thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/348260-reskin-or-recondition-r32gtr-steering-wheel - you might glean something from that.

The leatherique kit comes with dye, clear-coat, etc - so a straight forward DIY option if you're game.

Good luck with it :)

Thanks Jenna :)

And to others, you don't see cows that's as shiny as a new steering wheel walking around, do you? :P

Edit: I think I'll take a pic of it later and should you. It is nothing like the pics I saw on that thread. It's much worse lol. And because it's got perferated holes in the leather, I think the filler might cover them. But then again, I'm sure it will be better than what it is now.

Really impressed with that company Jenna has mentioned.

I ordered and paid for the kit on Thursday afternoon at about 1pm. It arrived in the mail on Friday.

I'm gonna give it a go now on the momo, will post up results later.

I've sanded back and re-dyed my cracked/cardboard hard factory momo yesterday, and I must say... That kit has done an amazing job, cannot believe how good it has turned out.

Now I just gotta wait a bit more before I can clear coat it. But I'll be posting up photos when it's done :D

Glad to hear Charles89.

I've only got praise for this kit. I've bought two so far from a local paint shop. Done two steering wheels of mine, and a friends, along with gearboot, gearknob, handbrake etc on both my cars. Comes up trumps.

Anyway, let us know how you go :)

After a few of trying to restore my steering wheel with the restoration kit. Here's the result, very happy with it:

This is what it looks like when I first bought it

After cleaning and oiling it, then finished off with a light sand.

Re-dyed and re-clear coated it.

I noted earlier for Charles where to get the kit

If you go to the PPC Co website you'll find a local store, my local paint shop stocked mine; It's really quite inexpensive too ($50):

You can also order through their website if you haven't got a local retailer.

I think after this kit, I might even take your word on GlassyLite :P

Geez, you still haven't tried GlassyLite? ;)

Geez, you still haven't tried GlassyLite? ;)

Lol, I been using cut and polish, but I think I might try a solution that lasts longer. It's $40 per kit posted yeah?

As for the steering wheel kit. I paid $64? It was express posted to my house the next day, very good service.
