Default Repair steering wheel scratch

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to fix scratched steering wheels? Unfortunately I scratched mine with my jeans.

Take a look at the pic.




Let me know if it is possible.
Thanks in advanced.

You know, this has happened several times to me on my S3. And it does drive me nuts!! I run my finger on the scratch constantly. And I try to be very careful entering and egressing my car. It happens. But honestly, the scratches actually heal themselves. No lie. In a few days, I bet you won't really feel or see the scratch. Newer, better leather treatments allow this to occur. Like for leather furniture for the home. Much of that is actually self healing. Wish I would heal as quickly.

I noticed my wheel has the exact same scratch on the exact same part! It must be a pretty common occurrence. After the first couple of weeks, I stopped thinking about it--like all the other random tears and scratches that appear to show up all over my car, despite my being extra careful.

i have one on mine as well. My wife noticed it and it drove me nuts for a few mins and now i don't even notice it. I feel better knowing that a lot of people are having the same issue.

My wife caused a 1-inch scratch my RS3 steering wheel today with her ring.
I have decided to give her the car. Will get a SQ5 or something.

LOL. Glad it's not just me. It's something that won't ever change.
