Our Process

Condition Assessment

We examine the steering wheel for peeling, stickiness, wear spots, and damage. Different issues require different approaches - we identify the best repair method for your specific situation.

Surface Preparation

Failed coatings are completely removed, and the leather is cleaned and degreased. This is crucial for proper adhesion of repair materials and a smooth, durable finish.

Leather Repair

Worn areas are rebuilt using flexible leather repair compounds. We pay special attention to grip feel - the steering wheel needs to feel right in your hands, not slippery or sticky.

Color Application

We apply color-matched automotive leather dyes in multiple thin coats. The color is heat-resistant and formulated to withstand the high temperatures steering wheels experience.

Protective Finish

A special automotive finish is applied that provides proper grip while resisting heat, UV damage, and hand oils. The finish is designed to maintain its feel and appearance for years.
