How's the suede holding up on the steering wheel and shifter, for those who have it?

DrkPhx · 07-23-2013, 04:06 PM

Fine for me. I love it.

ZL1-V · 07-23-2013, 04:18 PM

9K miles and no problems.

I'm at 3500 miles and mine looks fine gives excellent grip too. I am getting ready to clean it for the first time. I'll be getting ready to wax the car again soon too.

daily driver for over a year, and I still love it. Still feels great, just don't get in the car covered in oil and crap, and you should be good.

Only 600 miles and I love it. Glad I got it

One yr and 13k miles. Shifter is slick and shiny. Steering wheel has two little spots beginning to form where I like to hold the wheel. Not too bad.

TripleBlkZL1 · 07-23-2013, 06:17 PM

Any good tips on how to clean suede?

tonyfred · 07-23-2013, 06:21 PM

One year in and the suede looks absolutely brand new. They didnt skimp. It is great quality. I highly recommend.

I used Adams leather cleaner and interior detailer on a used saddle for my wife. It was able to lift oil out of the suede part that was 30 years old.

I used that and a plastic brush (like an old tooth brush). Once I got it out, I used "Tenderly" I blotted with an old micro fiber towel.

I installed the ZL1 suede on my dash, so I wanted to see how it was holding up.
