So today I was bored and really decided to detail my car well.

So I took a bottle of this

So I hate how the stitching on M M3 wheel looked all nasty and discolored

so with those three products, my wheel went from this

Tips:
-Don't spray on the wheel, spray on the toothbrush
-Keep diping the brush in water to keep it clean after every section
-Wipe cleaner away right away after cleaning that area

Hey cool, I have stiching like that on my sline wheel and it been driving nuts! Mine is even worse than yours was. Is that cleaner safe on the leather??

the kind i used had the oxy stuff in it and it didnt mess up any of my leather. so no i dont think it will mess up your leather (: i would try to get the brand that he got tho cuz mine didnt come out nearly as good as his... but still much better than it was

We used it on the steering wheel of my friends 337 gti, also has red stitching and it turned out just as well :)

Just be careful to not let it sit on the leather for to long.

I'm going to have to do this on my 337 wheel since the red stitching looks brown and gross in some places.
