How to fix stretches on leather
I have a Audi a8 2015. My steering wheel has a lot of screeches you can see the white under leather. Any idea how can I fix it Without spending $1000s?
I was thinking just to add touch up paint. I don't want it cheap feel to it so is there any other way?

Best to take your car to a leather upholsterer. You may get away with just re-dyeing the leather. Why does it get scratched up? Do you have an unconscious habit of scratching the leather while driving or sitting in traffic? I know some people have a nasty habit of digging into the leather if they're anxious or stressed. Just like nail-biting.

Have you considered searching in Ebay for a used but good condition A8 steering wheel? I just did a search and it seems that replacement steering wheels for the A8 can be had for a reasonable price.
