I don't know if I would have used fake carbon fiber to cover (what looks like) high quality leather in a $60k car but I give you serious props for making a go of it and the end results DO look good. Also I give you credit for being brave enough to post a video of your trial and error because that DOES help others. Ignore the haters and negative comments.

[@mauricec100]

Tons of haters telling him that's not the right way but nobody is offering advice or how to. I give you credit for trying. The top part looks actually decent. I'm wondering if it's harmful to the leather though.

[@ThePrimordialBeing]

It's not. But you better apply heat again before peeling vinyl off. And then clean it with alcohol.

[@gilbertrodriguez8212]

Bro fuck what anyone said negative, you did a decent job. We all had to start somewhere. I've never done a steering wheel, but try pre cutting the piece in a happy face smile, that way it will wrap with more contour to the wheel. Also if you have the time, take the steering wheel off, so you can really work with the heat gun.

[@b18boostedcivic4eva]

Never heard of doing this. Wrapped our FJ, now I know we can do steering wheel too! Thanks for sharing.

[@Finesse460]

I think you're the only one on youtube whose attempted to do this! Thank you so much!! Now I have the confidence to do it myself

[@samln5019]

I can't believe this was done back in 2016! Seems so recent! Good job!!, I want to cover my woodgrain wheel, I think I will give it a try!

[@jasoncruz4371]

Avalon?

[@thestone3849]

Go on daring , no harm, For those who fear DIY goes wrong, for steering wheel at least, you can always put a ready made cover of your choice any way at any time.....So dare.....you will learn eventually how not to do and then finally HOW TO do it. Nice video bro. I learnt many things along with you.... THANKS

[@Dany-yz3qk]

It's good solution for old steering wheel. Thanks for idea.

[@ShaksWD]

Wow!!! I didn’t think that was actually possible wrapping over your leather part of your steering wheel! Hats off to you for trying. Well done!!! 👏 save you mega $$$$ just for the look

[@llRaZzLeDaZzLell]

Wow I've never seen anyone wrap over leather. Looks great

[@StealthElectronVIP]

Because it's a bad idea.

[@SS_Gang777]

You did a great job thank you for this vid you've given me courage to try this. Real Leather is tougher than most ppl know if you decide to go back all you need to do is strip the leather using acetone then condition it real good

[@SpX-StarCraft]

Good job my friend!! fuck all the hater saying "why do it to an audi" I also have a 2017 a4 and planning to do the same thing :)

[@Chthonian121]

I really like the 4 tone dash lol. Dark brown leather, matte wood, carbon fiber trim pieces, and grey dash. Looks very nice

[@HeadsUP253]

This is too funny , i was laughing so hard … thank you for the laugh

[@evanlandauer420]

Will these wraps work with heated steering wheels? Or will the wrap expand after continuous use?

[@tbates860]

You did it yes it looks awesome I wanted to wrap my Lexus RX350 wood steering wheel. So it can be done Thanks !!!!!

[@MechAdventures]

Great vid. thumbs up. I have installed few of these kits on few of my friends BMW's with acceptable result, I've aslo made video about it.

[@stu0050]

Great video. So good in fact I've just ordered so materials to wrap some parts of my car this weekend.

[@Shinkaaaa]

Lemme guess you sold the car in the last 3 years so I don't need to ask how the wrap is holding up?

[@PKmode]

May I point out that the steering wheel comes off in literally 5mins or less? It is a single 'bolt' and marked for realignment. The airbag comes off with two spring clips and an electrical connector, (just don't turn the car on when disconnecting or when the airbag disconnected). It is super simple and will give you A LOT more access to all sides and angles if you are going to retry this. Regards.

[@1Stock_G70]

how did the vinyl hold up from touching it constantly? Im thinking of doing mine today but getting it wrapped in ppf

[@ServiceProcess]

Yes. I think its a very good effort. And something I would never have thought of. Good vid.

[@Viettzz]

Would the carbon fiber wrap ruined the leather of the steering wheel?

[@SS_Gang777]

No it won't ruin it

[@jonathansingh6707]

Looks great! Thanks for taking the time .

[@mch2058]

Awesome video and attempt, always wanted to do this but never thought it would work on padded leather. Great video and results and up those naysayers

[@packisbetter90]

never thought of this before good idea

[@cautiontext]

you clean it then run your hands on it....

[@Jorkki_]

cautiontext Text ..Exactly what a said to myself😂😂

[@kenedielowe4032]

why need professionals when we have youtube

[@jdizzy60]

Wrapping a steering wheel with vinyl is not a good idea in the first place. Most of the time when your driving your going to have your hands on your steering wheel which will cause it to wear much faster then any other surface. However if you really did want to go ahead and do it. I would take off the steering wheel so that you can get to the places you were having difficulty. Also I would definitely use the heat gun and press hard when the vinyl comes and meets the stitching. Doing that will help it keep stretched and keep it locked in place. All this is from my personal experience in wrapping trim. I recently just refinished all of my trim in my Bmw e90 to Fox brown alcantara. I will be reupholstering my steering wheel today with leather as well

[@jeremywillhoit7923]

Looks hard and is alot of work! Should I try it ill probably fail 😆 lol! I have alot of time on my hands and want to try it to learn how to do it!!

[@TheOpera4ever]

Thank you for the video ! You need to do pre cutting of the pieces like if you are wrapping the whole steering wheel and don't have so much material to cut ! Just get an idea from the steering wheel leather wrapping kits from China ! Xuji is the Company! I'm trying that as well !

[@bobbysurya9104]

good job, excellent idea. Thank you.

[@reynapink142]

Looks amazing. Wish I could pay you to do mine.

[@MofoMoto941]

Great video man, I have some sun damage on the top of my wheel I never thought to vinyl wrap it I was actually looking at your sew on coversbut this is way better. How did it hold up after sitting in the sun?

[@jaapdebouw7410]

Looks good! Is this easily revertible without damaging any leather or other parts?

[@arthurghazarosyan7852]

Thank you very much, you really did a very good job, I searched on internet and could not find such video But Does it feel smooth? or there are some obstacles in back side of the wheel?

[@Art_thr0b]

Nice little install vid, With it being a bit glossy how is the grip factor with sweaty hands or cabin heat if its hot outside will the wrap unravel itself?

[@tashlinmaharaj6432]

awesome video man looks neat

[@andreasjonson76]

Hi! i love the way you've wrapped the side panels on your doors! Was it a risky op to cut the vinyl since there is an aluminum trim bit there as well. could you send some close up pictures or make a video? thanks in advance! great channel! ps. i also drive a tuned A6 c7 3.0tfsi and love the car. ds

[@davidmadison5582]

looks fantastic!

[@christophersumler1378]

Could you do a tutorial on how you wrapped your interior trim as well? Was it hard? It looks amazing!

[@georossete2321]

bro you did a great job thats like a 300 dollar job

[@yannistath]

hmmmm no just no, i love the texture that A6 has on the steering wheel. I dont want to hold something plastic.

[@swiftsport-tp8sp]

ειπαρχη δερμάτινη carbon my friend το αυτοκόλλητο δεν κολλάει στο δέρμα καταστρέψεις το τιμόνι

[@KurumaDesigns]

Very nice! Did you use the big or small texture wrap?

[@simonbes6215]

Good Video

[@TunerGalleryGo]

Than you. I try

[@zackhallam914]

Might try this

[@bassred7065]

How long did it last?

[@MuitheExplorer]

Hey, i liked your video very much. Good view, good instructions, perfect overall, it helps a lot. I saw some of your interior parts covered with carbon also, you think of making a tutorial for them also?

[@TunerGalleryGo]

Thank you very much! If I decide to redo it for whatever reason I'll record it

[@jesusmartinez5668]

if you had enough why didn't you do the entire thing instead of just the top part?

[@jasper022679]

I would make a template first. Great vid. Thanks.

[@herbie140582]

Tbh, I saw the title and thought that it will turn out 💩 af! But!!! I really have to say that I like it! Great job!

[@PetitBarez]

Good work. Just one tip Vid. wise; When you speed up and you are talking in the speed up.. mute yourself OR use music. It looks more proffesional!

[@haughtgaming8377]

you just pushed me into buying the 14.99 stearing wheel cover and some thread...... so triggered

[@agaloodyowie1]

how long did this last? Great job

[@LysenkoAlexander]

epic sheet!

[@Clankillas]

PleSe don't take this as a hating reply, but if you ask me this is something I personally think you would've had a professional do? Not all DIYers start out like you did but are often coached and "shown" how to do it the right way. This is one where you didn't even prep the material (cutting it to size) and IMHO because if that, you wasted valuable material which you could've use elsewhere.

[@WallstreetEvoX]

Is the wrap still holding up ? I tried wrapping the top of the steering wheel like you did here and its so damn hard. You did a pretty damn good job.

[@robertvigil3687]

looks awesome good job fellow VAG driver

[@tbates860]

Randy I need your help !!!!

[@nikakartsivadze1676]

I think it's better to take steering wheel off and then wrap vinyl

[@austinstoney4345]

where did u get a cordless heat gun?

[@tazojla]

Pause at 9:49 it has a cord.

[@austinstoney4345]

+Taz Ojla ahhh dam guess i missed that! i live appartments so unless i get a rwally long extention cord in screwd! im about to take my dash off my impala tho and put some carbin fiber 🤘🖒

[@quentinskateboarding]

Nice!

[@Kayla_alsinax3]

Can you use a hair dryer

[@franciscoromero7761]

Is a heat gun really necessary or can i use a hair dryer?? #brokelife 🤣

[@projectcarz4798]

Dude you need to use some relief cuts

[@lebosseapullebosseapul6128]

Oh no brooo, next time try to take the wheel off, that helped me, you can also measure the circumference and the diameter first, so you don t have to cut thay much . Nice try doe bro

[@dattisha27]

I was wondering if I could do this with my old wood grain wheel thanks 👍

[@nagyba]

itz wEiGhT rEdUcTiOn bro

[@zackhallam914]

Its called personalizing it... hater . And that dont effect the leather if he decides to take it off

[@cwdrobert]

[@NietJeffrey]

[@cooking4times]

Horrible!

[@hellodre]

the title should be How to NOT wrap your steering wheel. thanks for wasting 20 minutes of my time

[@roughryder5]

You're the idiot that actually sat through a 20min video. The man is trying, and it actually looks pretty damn decent.

[@quentinskateboarding]

LiftOrGTFO 😂 nice response

[@sterlinghawkins1801]

Your watching a how to video. So obviously you don't know how to wrap it either. Thanks for wasting air with your breathing.

[@MateoCroo]

Good job
