How to Restore & Recolor a Faded, Shiny Leather Steering Wheel

Over time, sweat and friction turn a matte leather steering wheel into a shiny, slippery, and faded surface. Here is how to bring back that velvety factory-fresh feel.

3-Step Quick Wheel Refresh:

  1. Remove Grease & Shine: Thoroughly wipe the steering wheel rim with the deep leather degreaser. Watch the oily gloss disappear as the leather pore structure opens.
  2. Apply Recolor Pigment: Dab the ultra-fine pigment coat evenly around the rim using the included ergonomic foam applicator. Two ultra-thin coats ensure 100% natural grain texture.
  3. Anti-Sweat Protective Seal: Finish with the breathable matte sealant. It protects against palm sweat, hand sanitizer, and UV aging for up to 2 years.

Drying Time: Dry to touch in 20 minutes; ready for driving in 2 hours.
