the cherry blossom for it all and it works on the gear knob as well.

 

[DOLBY]

[lmiller]

Perfect timing!! I've literally just got mysen a 225 so I shall be following this guide. Was thinking about going over the red stitching and strip at the top as I'm not rolling in an LCR, any thoughts?

 

[wayne lcr]

Just curious as to how long this lasts, because I use this type of polish on my shoes and boots at work and it doesn't last that long...? In the middle of doing my bargain £15 wheel!

 

[DOLBY]

I keep topping mine up buddy. It does last but if you wear rings or whatever then you can scuff the paint

I would say it lasts for months but i dont wear rings.

 

[joshy514]

Mine is taking bloody ages to stain the red.... Thinking of just putting black acrylic paint on it because its worked really well on the red 12 strip

 

[joshy514]

An I using the right stuff? I've got the 83p stuff in a tin?

 

[DOLBY]

Lol mate no. It's the cherry blossom with the sponge on the end. £1.99 from any hardware store or wherever.
