To restore a cracked and faded leather steering wheel is an easy process with very good results.
Buffalo offers a kit specifically for a steering wheel that will totally renew the surface, colour and overall appearance.

The process is very simple using our kit:

• If the steering wheel is particularly cracked, rough or peeling, sand the areas first using a fine grade 180 grit “wet & dry” sandpaper used wet.
• Now thoroughly clean the area using warm soapy water or water based leather cleaner and the power pad we supply in our kit, or use a nail brush to remove all the dirt.
• Wipe over the whole area using the solvent cleaner to remove any dirt residue.
• Apply the Leather bonder using the cloth to provide extra adhesion and to prime the surface.
• Apply the Colour Repair Pigment using the sponge provided onto the whole leather steering wheel area
• After the restoration is completely dry apply the Buffalo repair protector to protect the restoration against skin contact which causes contamination on the leather surface.

When the warmer weather arrives it will have two effects on your leather:
1 - Theres a good chance it will cause fading to your leather colour especially those suites in a sunny window, conservatory, or car seating.
2 - The warmer weather will dry out your leather causing it to crack and age prematurely.

You need to prevent this now

Nasty smells caused by cigarette smoke, vomit, pets or mould.

Unfortunately nasty niffs can cling to surfaces, we usually notice these awful odours when we purchase a second hand suite or a  used car and no matter what we do those smells just won’t go away.

Why?
At worst the smells may have penetrated right in to your inner padding, there’s not a lot you can do about this unless you’re prepared to replace all the padding.

One Step At A Time
The obvious first step is to thoroughly clean your suite using a good professional cleaner, don’t use a cheap cleaner as these have very little cleaning properties (We’ll make our suggestions at the bottom of this article as which products we and our trade customers use to remove nasty smells)
After a good clean applying a leather conditioner will nourish your leather and also contribute to neutralising bad odours.
If you still experience a bad smell on your leather after this process - It may be emitting from the inner padding.

Strange But True
On one particular second hand suite we were asked to clean we had to re-seal the whole suite to eradicate the final residue of curry odours.
