Along the same lines as gene, I use Lexol and Griots for leather cleaner but some leather is beyond simple cleaning and conditioning.

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.

I'm looking to buy a steering wheel for my car, it has a graphite gray interior. Do these photos look graphite or space gray to you guys? I am having a hard time telling. Thanks.
they look white ....
go here...upload and post the url in the little box with the mountain/moon icon

on the link I provided above ? ? ?
I have a "few" pics posted in my 15k posts here on RL and have yet to reach any "limit" - maybe something to do with being a "user" ????
I'd describe the color as stained and dirty. It's really hard to tell from those pictures. Even if they are graphite grey your best bet with them is probably to use a leather cleaner, sand them down and apply an appropriate color treatment like Leatherique or an equivalent.

I am not too concerned with the actual rim as I was planning on having that recovered. I just want to be sure the body of the wheel matches the horn pad. Thanks for the reply!
Sue, could you elaborate on that technique? what sandpaper? wet or dry? where does one get leatherique? my steering wheel is looking tired. i clean and condition, but the color is fading out. i guess it would work as well on the shift ****... thanks.
It's very much a wet sanding process. Here's a home brewed technique (from the early911registry) that I'd like to try out on my Sonett this winter since the steering wheel is starting to show its age:

Alternatively, Leatherique (
www.leatherique.com
) is a stand alone process. You can pick up the stuff through their website, eBay or a host of online vendors.
Along the same lines as gene, I use Lexol and Griots for leather cleaner but some leather is beyond simple cleaning and conditioning. I'm not sure how you'd get all of that brown out of the grey with a Zaino, Lexol or Griot's-type of cleaner. From the pictures it appears to be too badly stained for simple cleaning. Maybe not - it's certainly worth a try before you take things to the next step. At some point, however, the topmost layer of leather is just beyond simple cleaning and needs rejuvenation and repair.
