So Scott where did you get this wheel recovered? meaning who is the vendor? By the way it does look great.

Yes! Inquiring minds (and wallets) want to know! My steering wheel will need recovering before too long as the stitching is coming undone and the leather has some serious wear. I was thinking of calling Dallas Custom Steering, but not after hearing how much they charge.

jljljl,

Funny you should ask about the tire dressing and being shiny...............

So over the years I've used ALOT of the tire dressings out there, I mean alot of them...... some pretty good some not so good. ALL ranging from 4.00 to 7.00........................

I have a little sports car that I like to have nice clean rims and tires on, so I have always looked for tire dressing that works well. over all unimpressed with whats out there.

Soooooooooooooooooo last year I was out at the local Dollar Tree getting some little knick knacks and I remembered I needed to get some tire dressing....... I see that they sell some off brand tire dressing for 1.00 and it was a big container... so I figured why not. If its water and doesnt work I only spent a dollar.

So I use it with VERY low expectations.........

havnt used anything since....

Had the "Check Brake Pad" light come on, so I guess I needed to do a brake job. Took out the front pad, they were worn, but the sensor was still intact. Might as well change them since I had the caliper off. Replace the pads and sensor. Took it out for a drive and checked the instrument cluster. Pad warning light was still on. Perhaps the rear pads are worn, so I went and removed the calipers. They still had 80% of the pad life. Checked the sensor and notice that it was a URO sensor, so I decided to keep the pads, but replace the sensor. Put everything back together and the minute I started the truck, there wasn't a "Check Pad" light on. Moral of this repair, don't buy cheap parts, not unless you intend to flip the X.

Yes this is a well known strategy when it comes to parts replacement. Stick to the good stuff. Most URO parts are junk anyway.
