Re: [DML] Greenish Stains on Steering Wheel

Shoe polish can rub off onto your hands, it is not the best way to do it. Same for Magic marker. Click over to Leatherique.com. The website has a lot of great info and the products are top notch. If you call, they are very helpful. Much better than Lexol. The stuff is pricey but the cheap stuff is not worth anything. They have our colors on file if you need dye.
