Steering Wheel Blemish Repair?

[ellepea]

I was having hard time recently and I was digging a nail into my new steering wheel unknowingly and I noticed this morning there are tiny marks now in it. I did not realize I was doing it so hard and now I feel even worse. I have a M Sport trim package. Any products I can use to fill it in so to speak? Thank you

You may be able to steam it gently, or try placing a damp microfiber towel over the spot for awhile to see if it "plumps up."

Yes please share a pic. I have some heidelux incoming that I hope will repair my scratches. I'll post a pic of my scratch next time I go to the car.

Also let me know if you're near Cleveland. I have some weathertech mats for an x2 you can have if it fits. They're taking up space in my garage. I got rid of my x2.

Those look like surface scartches, more than anything.
The only solution to those is to re-dye the leather. Luckily, steering wheels are all black, and matching the color should be easy.

I haven't done this for decades, but the last time I had to clean-up leather appearances, I used a leatherique kit. It looks like they are still in business:
