I thought about this for quite a while and received some guidance from Mike Phillips on the idea of a thread where we can post our mistakes, so that other Forum Members can learn from them

We rarely hear and almost never see any Oops moments

I encourage anyone who has had a learning experience, especially if you have photos and can give guidance to post in this kind an nurturing thread

I am going to start out small, but I promise there will be burned the paint pictures from me




The oops:

I damaged the coating on my leather steering wheel

I followed the technique I had seen numerous times on the interweb for cleaning steering wheels

-Spray w APC
-Scrub with MF towels, while grasping the wheel

Pretty basic stuff, except that you can rapidly generate heat and a lot if friction by scrubbing in big swathes

When using this technique it is also difficult to focus on the working area

To avoid this:

I suggest using the same basic method, but break the wheel up into smaller sections and watch the seams



Please add your "Oops". Photos encouraged


Burned paint soon to come
