It will be interesting to see how well it wears. |

As sceptical as I was over this video initially, I followed the instructions to the letter and mine came up like new. 58000 miles of dead skin, grime and general crud easily removed and a perfect finish.

It’s easy to bring back black. We had a pimento and an Ivory wheel ruined in the past MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Nice job! Got one of the Aliexpress ones enroute so hopefully looks as good as yours. Those full refurbs are great, but can't afford that right now. |

I went for a perforated leather cover.... only because our other car has the same... and yep, looks good. I echo the patience bit...I was sure it was going to have some slack towards the last bit, but it was a perfect fit... and I was fully prepared to give up if it looked nafff, but now having done it once, (first time ever), I could do it again in much less time, and I doubt it would look any better. Lexus RX450H - 500 mile a week commuter- I just couldn’t trust in a newer RRS or DS for that…. 2009 Freelander 2 HSE... 155K miles, we’ve done 135k of those, has done brilliantly on the commute and staying firmly put as car two in the household 2002 Jaguar XK8 Coupe... fun, fast, ours for 12 years and owes us nothing - so staying with us too… |

Yes when I installed mine I was thinking it would have crease everywhere but they just disappear as you keep threading it up |
