Leather spray?

Post by plod »

I've bought a leather steering wheel off a coupe.
It's got a couple of scuffs, but ultimately better than the one in my car which seems to be crumbling away :shock:

Someone has said you can buy a spray that will cover up the imperfections - anone heard of it, or had experience of using it??

I got some of that stuff once, it was ordered by a local vehicle upholsterer for me and colour matched to a sample of the leather. I had a scuff / surface tear in the base of the back seat caused by a cow-orker who got in the car with a screwdriver in his pocket (only a couple of weeks after I got the car :evil: :evil: ). The replacement seat cover was £460 so I took it to the upholsterer who suggested this stuff. He told me to use a thin brush with the paint to "fill" the tear, apparently enough coats will fill it completely so that it disappears. I did loads of coats and eventually stopped, you can still see the damage but it's under the kiddy seats anyway :oops: , I'm sure the longer you persist the better the effect.
