Coconix Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit

Rubbing alcohol

Scissors or utility knife (if necessary)

Cotton swab or cotton pad

Plastic wrap (for adding texture)

Step 1

Preparing the Damaged Area

Carefully trim any excess threads, jagged bits, or burn marks from the hole on your leather car steering wheel.
Cut off any charred material if necessary.

Step 2

Cleaning the Area

Clean the area around the hole on your leather car steering wheel 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 3

Preparing the Backing Fabric (if needed)

For holes larger than 1/4 of an inch, cut a piece of backing fabric with rounded edges, slightly larger than the hole.
Insert it with the spatula provided in the kit.

Step 4

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 5

Applying the Repair Compound

Apply the repair compound to the hole on your leather car steering wheel.
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 6

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 steering wheel.
Once dry, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the rest of the area.

Step 7

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 8

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 steering wheel.

Step 9

Maintenance

Wipe your steering wheel down with a damp cloth or leather cleaner every few weeks to remove dust and dirt.
Avoid spilling liquids or exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Use a steering wheel cover or gloves to protect your steering wheel from further wear and tear.
Be mindful of your keychain and any sharp objects that may be in contact with the steering wheel.
Regularly check for any signs of wear or tear and address them promptly to prevent any damage from worsening.
