Crossfire TodayThis week I took the ‘06 Roadster to another level. Some fine detailing to her.

First, with the tuxedo interior, this classy roadster had an obvious wear area on the steering wheel. Car had 59K on her. Well maintained but the steering wheel just needed attention. Bit the bullet and tried the matching vanilla paint offered for sale in Germany. Not cheap (50.+ dollars for a little bottle del’d).

1. Washed the area with Simple Green and Dawn soap. Used a clean old cotton T shirt for this. Rinsed with water and a clean micro fiber towel.

2. Once dry, shake the paint bottle well and using a clean sponge apply the paint using a blotting motion to the worn area. Let dry. I waited an hour or so and reapplied a 2nd coat. Ended up putting a 3rd coat on the rim and stitching the next day. I’m impressed. It’s a perfect match. Time will tell how well it stays on.
