Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey Gang
Simple little thing that makes the car look better.
Over time the Shifter and Ebrake leather wears. As do other leather parts on our interiors.
Instead of replacing things here is a way to freshen them up.
I bought my leather dye from leatherworldtech.com for $24. There is plenty to even do my seats if I choose to do so (I Will).
Remove your part.
Scrub with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
I scuffed my stuff up with a scotchbright pad. Just lightly.
Tape off parts you don't want dye on (although Mr. Clean removes over flow)
Pat on the dye with a applicator pad
Let it dry and then re-install.
I have done this with the parts on my center console and my EBrake. The idea is to pat it on. You can use an airbrush if you have one. I just did not break mine out for this. I will for the seats.
Hope this helps my fellow OCD peeps
Good info on the magic eraser, will definitely try it out on the wheel (not leather wrapped, but thought the dye might take as well, nothing to lose, as it does not look great as it is).
Looking forward to dyeing the e-brake and possibly the bolster on the seats.

Looks good. I was going to have my e-brake, steering wheel, and shifter recovered with Alcantra, but I might try that first. It can't hurt.
Great Post.
Thanks for checking. I called them and a customer service rep said I may need the grey for a 944. I was just curious to see what code you ordered. He said he'd change it if necessary.
Great post. Thank you!
You can dilute 50/50 woolite and water in a spray bottle. Then use a white bristle brush to clean your steering wheel. After wipe it down with a wet rag (water only); then dry rag and you're good to go.

My M3 (200,000+ miles):
When I bought the car I thought the stitching was black.
Notice how from the first picture to second how the leather went from super glossy, to a matte finish.
FYI, I did my steering wheel about two-three years ago as the graphite grey had almost turned blue from the dye rubbing off. I got an exact color match from a place in the UK. I think it was Dynamix (no connection). Patted on a few coats and it turned out perfectly.
