Thanks Jamie

I'm a bit to old for the full on 'in the weeds and stretched tyres' look these days but I do like my cars to look like they have been custom but it's not immediately obvious what's been done.

The steering wheel is treated with leather cleaner first then a good leather conditioner. I found an old Porsche detailing kit years ago in my dads garage. But I'd say any good quality cleaner and conditioner would give the same results. I do it every time I cleaner the car and it's now unnoticeable

It's awesome!  Had it running while on the ramp for a bit before calling it a day. It's got an awesome burble.
