It was great at first but what appears to have happened is the dye, hasn't pentrated the leather. Instead it's created a 'latex' like coating on to of the leather which is now peeling off.
I've got another wheel that needs doing and want to get it right this time. So any advice and product recommendations will be greatly received.
:S I have one of these: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251378275765
waiting to use on my focus. It's from the same seller as your kit so I may not bother now.
Sorry not to be of help but thanks for the heads up.

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I've seen it used and the results are impressive.
Any links to specific products? or other threads. The same stuff I got here is also sold for seats, my concern now is buying the right product or selection of products for a (near) professional restore.
I've got a bit of a steering wheel obsession, I keep buying them
I'd be keen to learn more about proper restoration.
Eddy - have a quick search for "Liquid Leather" or "Gliptone" - and then phone them up and have a chat with them. They're leather upholstery specialists and know a great deal about the subject, and in my experience were happy to chat through the particular issue on the phone and tell you what product and technique is going to work best. Their products are really good too.
Far more likely to lead to success than taking a punt on random products on e-bay IMHO.
Cheers!
Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.
Yes, liquid leather are who I was going to suggest. I use their cleaning products which are fantastic and the restoration products are supposed to be equally impressive.
