Refinished leather on my XNE steering wheel, using Leather Magic kit.

Leather around 10 o’clock got worn down and became rough and sticky especially under high humidity... so applied flexible artificial leather patch to fill a small hole and beef up thinned area before coloring. Hope it lasts another 20 years!

Also fixed a stripped nut securing the engine access panel with a nut-sert, easy job and it’s tight now!
