Rubbing alcohol

Cotton swab or cotton pad

Plastic wrap (for adding texture)

Step 1

Cleaning the Area

Clean the area around the scuffs on your leather car shift knob with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab.
Make sure to test it on a hidden area first. If alcohol is harsh for your material, you may use warm, soapy water or your usual leather or vinyl cleaner.

Step 2

Mixing the Repair Compound

If your repair requires a custom color, refer to the Color Mixing Guide in the kit to match the color and prepare the mixture using the empty mixing jar provided.

Step 3

Applying the Repair Compound

Apply the repair compound to the scuffs on your leather car shift knob.
Start by applying it under and along the edges and work from the outside toward the center.
Use the spatula for larger applications and the brush for surface applications and detail touch-ups.

Step 4

Drying and Additional Layers

Allow several hours for the repair compound to dry until it is no longer sticky to the touch on your leather car shift knob.
Once dry, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the rest of the area.

Step 5

Adding Texture

Once the repair compound is semi-dry, tear off a slightly larger piece of plastic wrap.
Press it against the semi-dry final layer of the repair compound.
When you lift your hand off, the area will be slightly textured.
Repeat this process until you've achieved the desired texture. Adding texture will help the repaired section to blend with the rest of the leather.

Step 6

Finishing Touches

After the repair compound has dried, use a cotton pad or cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to buff out the edges of the repair on your leather car shift knob.

Step 7

Maintenance

To keep your newly repaired leather car shift knob looking great, it's important to maintain it properly.
Clean it with a damp cloth or a gentle leather cleaner every few weeks to remove dirt and dust.
Avoid spilling liquids or exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Use a leather conditioner to nourish the leather and restore its natural shine.
Be mindful of how you handle the shift knob, try not to use excessive force when shifting gears and try to use a light touch when adjusting the knob.
Consider using a shift knob cover to protect it from future wear and tear.
