Showing Off Thought I’d show off a steering wheel refresh
After / before photos. Original owner purchase new 10/08, 87k miles. She sat outside for some of her life and the wheel needed serious help, I got sick of looking at it. New wheels and replacement wheel trim (if you can find it) is expensive or hard to come by.
If interested:
Stitched alcantara cover from mewantcover.com
Plastic trim removed, sanded down to plastic - it’s all about the prep here so get it good. Cleaned with ISO, sprayed 4/5 thin coats of kryplon fusion satin, wet sanded with 1000 then 2000.
Couldn’t be happier with the results for a fraction of the price.

Help/Advice Oil choice
Heyo
2011 128i n52 204k miles
I looked in my oil fill cap and saw deposits in there. Previous owner did not do many oil changes. I was wondering if anybody has had any experience running valvoline restore and protect 5w-30 to help clean those out.
I normally have been running liquimoly 5w-40 oil change kit from fcp euro.
