Steve Morse Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I am looking to get the steering wheel of my 986 Boxster S refurbished - maybe making it little thicker, with alcantara finish possibly. Can anyone give me any recommendations for people who may do this, please? I am based in Kingston-Upon-Thames Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better now after it was ‘Royalled’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use one of those magic erasers use warm water and rub the steering wheel gently it will get rid of the shiny feel and soften the leather up. I did mine a few months ago the 'feel' is much better. Cheap option until you decide on a new wheel our refurb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 You can do as Southy suggested but be careful the wheel hasn't been re dyed before. If it's feeling sticky it probably has, mine was same and when I gave it proper clean the sticky went but so did the dye. Try giving it clean with some Meguries ap cleaner or maybe try a bit of warm water and dish soap. Either way will improve the sticky feeling ?
