Hey everyone,
I have a question on my steering wheel leather. I have a facelift CLK500 '05. Recently, I've felt that the leather on the steering wheel is starting to feel rough (it doesn't feel smooth when I let go of the wheel to turn). The same is for the shift knob. There are some rough spots on the shift knob and the wheel. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to get a whole new steering wheel? I want to try and make this steering wheel last for a really long time. I'll post pics soon. Thanks

All you can really do to leather on the shifter & wheel is give it a good clean with a well squeezed wet terry towel & detergent to get all the grime & skin oils off of it. Then dry & feed it with Maquiar's rich leather cleaner conditioner CREAM or similar. Don't be shy ~ leather is tough stuff. If the surface is not abraded you can get it back to looking virtually new. If it's abraded then you are heading for a recover.

Gliptone makes water based products to re colour the leather if the surface is damaged. All Benz colours are available.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will look into that. It just bothers my OCD when the steering wheel is not smooth.

Just got my face lifted steering wheel installed yesterday on my 2018 c63s coupe and I love it BUTTTTT... when I use the paddle shifters to shift they are really delayed... any thoughts on this. Thanks in advance
