Gliptone & steering wheels

Post by ttrill » Mon Mar 01, 2021 9:58 pm

This weekend I tackled the steering wheels and in particular, the stitching. Used gliptone and a soft toothbrush with some silicone bristles in it so it isn’t as hard on the leather. Results are pretty impressive, the complete photo Of the B3’s was half way through and really shows in the blue

Just normal gliptone leather cleaner, it’s surprising how effective it actually is
