Exclamation CAN STEERING WHEELS BE 'FLOCKED'...???
As title...

Can a worn suede steering wheel be painlessly restored by 'flocking' techniques? Or is the flock not durable enough to be constantly handled?

If not appropriate, anyone know of any good conventional steering wheel renovators in and around the Leic., or E and W Mids areas?

Any pearls of wisdom, gratefully recieved.

Thanks y'all lol

I'm going to try and get mine re-trimmed, but at the same time add some additional girth to the rim

Cheers, are there any mobile 'little flockers'?

Or any in and around the E or W Mids areas?

Anyone have any contact info on any?
