Well, I appreciate your input. I have that in mind as a last resort but before I do that I want to try to clean it first.

Man you guys need to improvize man. Getting it restitched is a ******* waste of time. A red pen does wonders for red stitched steering wheels. Just make sure you use a pen that bleeds. As in non-ball point.

It will make it look like new. It takes a while and you need a steady hand, but it comes out clean.

Any fabric store should carry a red fabric pen. I use that on mine but it looks like I will need to redo it about once a year. Doesn't rub off if you let it dry.

EDIT: Man that looks sissy^^(voice dropping 2 octaves) my wife is an arts an crafts guru.
