The wheel on my C240 got really bad, so I researched options. There are many methods on The Internet that use sanding, filler chemicals, and dyes. Another alternative is to re-wrap the leather. I found a place that sells "better than OE" kits for around $150 (DIY) or $300 for them to install it (you ship them your wheel). I talked to them about DIY and they highly discourages it saying is is very tedious work and most all DIYers screw it up. I ended up finding a good used on on eBay for about $100.

 

I installed Wheelskins on both of my SL500. Easy and looks great.

 

I have an 05 SL500 and notice more of a scuffing or wearing of the dye from use. The surface of the leather is not damaged as I have always kept the car in a garage and out of the Florida Sun. My need is more for a matching dye treatment. My interior is Stone and thus, the steering wheel is the darker of the two-three colors in that interior package. Any information on a specific color-matched dye would be quite welcomed.

 

Leatherique can supply the correct dye. Call them.

 

Most all auto paint supply stores have SEM or Dupont leather and vinyl color coatings, they match to your sample. Its what 99% or restoration shops use to make repairs.
