    Shiny/dirty steering wheels are one on my biggest pet peeves!!

    Bought this product and tried it while remaining skeptical. Was blown away by the fact that it actually worked, the shininess on a steering wheel is my pet peeve and this removed most if not all of it when I used their method.

      @@RealKevGotEm not saying you shouldn’t. I wouldn’t. It’s an abrasive material. So if a wheel is too old it may end up damaging it. I’d only use them on heavily saturated steering wheels. But that’s me, I’m not a professional by any means. We used to use them all the time (literally nightly), at one of my old jobs and it would mess up everyone’s hands. So I’d use gloves and very sparingly.

    Being my first experience with leather seats, I am digging into videos on what to do to keep it from cracking, staining, etc.
    You guys make it look simple to keep the seats and interior looking like new...
    Ordered a box of goodies from Chemical Guys to prepare, even if I shouldn't have to do anything to the interior right away.
