I have thought that a good quality oil based black leather dye would do well on the steering wheel. I haven't tried it, but my experience with dying leather in the past is that unless it is uniformly clean (or uniformly dirty) well it has to be uniform anyway or else the dye soaks in on some spots better than others and makes a mottled look. I have heard of used car lots using things like shoe polish ;-) I used black vinyl dye years ago that was alcohol based. It stuck to some things well and other things it didn't stick to at all. I thought it was a piss-poor product and regretted trying it. I hear there are much better products nowadays. I have seen gray dye jobs on gray interior cars, and it looks okay when it is new but then tends to flake/wear off with age. I saw a DeLorean that had the drivers seat reupholstered in tan vinyl and then painted gray to match OEM. The gray is cracking/wearing off just like you would see cracks in real leather. But obviously it would have been better if they used gray vinyl to start with. Walt ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Make Money Online Auctions!
