Anyone have success restoring a worn section on a leather steering wheel? Car’s eight years old, so not unusual to see but I’d be interested in knowing if there’s a way to match the original color and texture without it being an obvious fix.

Just get everything in writing. Don't let friendship get in the way. You can find all the legal resources online, if needed, like a sublease agreement. Good luck. Sent from my SM-G975U using Autogeekonline mobile app

Lots of good suggestions here, but I had great results on an E92 M3 (Melbourne Red) and now an F10 M5 (Singapore Gray) with carnauba-based waxes (P21s and Pinnacle Liquid Souveran).

Here's a shot of rainwater on the hood on my M5 2.5 months after waxing with Liquid Souveran. Daily driver, not garaged. Didn't wash it for 2 months as I had hand surgery. We actually had some rain in AZ during that time and I'm impressed with how it's standing up. I was able to wash it a week...

It's all good! :thankyousign:

I wound up buying the NicetyMeter model CM8801FN. I had seen Brian from Apex Detail use it online, and he seems to be pretty rigorous (IMHO) about his test gear. I paid under $100 for it, but as noted elsewhere, it took forever to here here from China. Like three weeks+. Based on the calibration...

Absolutely correct! And here's one more thread that helped me understand what these devices are with wildly varying prices.

Now you tell me this? I bought a paint thickness gauge and it turned out to be on the proverbial slow boat. [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G975U using Autogeekonline mobile app
