Yo mate if you do a search there is a quick guide on refurbing a LCR wheel. Looks pretty good. Gonna have a go at doing mine soon. In the mean time get yourself to B&Q, treat yourself to a Flash Dash. For the cost of a quid it keeps your dash and controls including wheel looking all clean and shiny!

I read that some people just use black shoe Polish to cover over any red that shows through on worn patches.

Did a quick search but one I seen didn't show the photos anymore

Yeah that's the one. Shame about the pics but the process seems straight forward and will be better than nothing. Like I said I'm gonna have a go at mine so I'll post some pics after if it turns out ok.
