Was going to post this elsewhere a while back but this looks like a good time for this question.
Who has the answer to keeping that steering wheel looking like new soft leather?
I love the soft satin look, but after repeated use the leather gets harder and buffed to a shine where you hold the wheel.
Any certain product or procedure to keep it looking new?

Chris, I cannot speak for others but I use the McGuire's Leather cleaner/care and have had great results with it.

Cheers

Morning all ...
Actually Skip, I've been waiting for today ! At 11:00 am I am officially unveiling the car to the local car enthusiasts, and a fine gentleman that is travelling from Michigan to possibly purchase the car.

Stay tuned, LOTS of pics coming ! This car turned out to be spectacular

Cheers
Steve

Thanks Skip for posting the video

Show was an absolute success, BIG thanks to Mike for driving 4 hours to get here and see the car, could not have been a nicer guy.

I'm pretty sure the car did not disappoint.

Getting the car ready ....
