Title: Advice on steering wheel - fd i30
Post by: galaxysmash on March 21, 2023, 16:38:01

G'day guys,I've had a shot at cleaning up the scratch marks on the grey/metallic section of the steering wheel (FD, slx) after the SIL scratched it... i guess? Out of stress? hey, I've met my nephews too, so i get it.I'm getting ready to sell it, and figured if I can just clean up the top layer by removing it, it'll look decent again without needing to remove the steering wheel.I've tried a scourer and jif with no success. Before I bugger it up myself, maybe someone has an approach I should try?cheers

There's only 2 ways to sort that, leave it or repaint it.

Or obviously replace it but that would be more involved and cost more. You would only have to buy the plastic part and replace it.

Could use wrap to fix it, you wouldn't have to remove anything making it a fairly easy repair.
