Audi 2010 – Steering wheel scratch repairs ends-up with rubbed-off failure.
I've been using your products on my car leather with great success. I recently had an incident where my car was in for regular maintenance, and the technician scratched small tears in my steering wheel. Since the technician was at fault they offered to repair the steering wheel. It appears they did a poor job and instead of simply repairing the tears, the whole steering wheel has been covered in what I think is shoe polish. It has a greasy feel, the color does not match, and I accidentally rubbed some off onto my hand.
I was able to use some Acidifier-2.0 and the horsehair brush to remove about 60 percent of this polish from the steering wheel. It came off like a gritty paste deposited on to some cloths. Unfortunately I don't know what will remove the remaining 40 percent. Do you have any suggestions?
In the photos attached, the shiny extra dark patches are the remaining polish. The leather that has been exposed under the polish looks normal. I don't think any of the black residue extracted using the Acidifier-2.0 and horsehair brush is any original leather pigment
I have the AP5.dr kit, though I am low on certain items. I'll take an inventory after work and respond if I need more.
