Bmw x3 2019 steering wheel scratch help?

[animescreen]

Well this steering wheel got rubbed from many things (cardboard, my fingernails, clothes buttons etc) and survived all of it until recently. I think it might be my samsung smart watch with bezels but not sure. Used leather conditioning and thought it would miraculously disappear but didnt (helped smooth it though)

Anyway to fix this or some kit out there?

Youtube seems to have not much dyi as it seems steering wheel fixes like this is quite hard. I detail my car so things like this bother me View attachment 70038

I don't have a solution for you.

Do you know the material that's on the wheel? Maybe coated leather or coated synthetic of some sort?

I would be hesitant to try too many methods of fixing it too quickly. Too easy to make it worse.

Sometimes, it takes awhile (and applications) for nourishing products to do the most they can.

Have you had the vehicle outside on a warm/hot day yet. A lot of plastic products will do some self healing with heat.

With time the abrasion from you touching it / wiping it will make it less noticeable. But can’t completely fix it unless you replace the leather. Some people use a magic eraser, which is abrasive, to try and level it a little more but if done incorrectly it will make things worse.

I don't think there is anything you can fill with (and probably wouldn't use the product if there was).

I would give it time. A well conditioned plastic, a few hot days where the interior heats up and the massaging of your hands as you drive is probably going to help. Especially if they are indents (no material removed).

Like I said, I don't have a solution. I just have some ideas that may help and some advice that will keep you from trying too much and making it worse.
