A&Q about 350Z
Q:
I know people flamed the last guy that asked about this but I have to ask. My steering wheel is chaffing where my hand usually rests the majority of the time. Is there any product that might help condition the "leather" to prevent further damage?
A:
I use Lexol leather conditioner for the steering wheel and shift knob. People usually buy this stuff for their leather seats, so far no harm done when using them on the steering wheel. Make sure you dont "overapply" as the stuff can get pretty greasy/slippery.
You can get Lexol leather conditioner at any auto-parts store.
A:
I own a company that repairs interiors. We service more than 300 car dealers. The problem with the leather wearing on the steering wheel as well as the seats is a pretty common problem.
The best thing to do is to use a leather conditioner, what brand you use is your choice. They all seem to do the job. DO NOT USE ANY ARMORALL on any of your leather surfaces. It does nothing to prolong the life of the leather. Conditioning the leather will help the leather last indefinitely.
But, since your leather is already wearing, contact your dealer and find out whom they use for their interior repairs. Contact the individual directly or through your dealer. Anyone that is any good can simply repair and redye the worn areas. From this point on it is up to you to keep your leather conditioned. If you do nothing else at least condition the parts of the wheel that you seem to always rest your hands on, and the outside bolsters on the driver seat, both the lower cushion and the backrest. they take the brunt of the wear and will wear out the quickest.
A:
If I recall, you have done your share of bitchin about all of the problems.
If it smells like crap, it must be crap.
I hope your entire life turns to ****! Voodoo curse upon you. Chanting Mantra now. My day is fine because I just recived notification from my BBB arbitration that they judged NNA to buyback the defective machinery they sold me. Arrangements now being made. Praise the BBB.

SRL311,
There's a difference between a 350Z owner venting about an issue with their car and some lamer trashing talking someone for having purchased one for no apparent reason.
I'm sure whatever vehicle is unfortunate enough to have you for its owner next will have problems, too. I've owned 10 vehicles, 5 of them new, from a variety of manufacturers, and none have been without quibbles of some variety.
If you can't tolerate your Z's issues, then fine... but those of us who have decided to live with (and love!) ours regardless are not interested in your inane babbling rants.

SRL311,
First, I own a 2003 350z. Second, what is your problem??? I asked a genuine question and just wanted to get a little advice on the my issue, and C, don't make me open a can of whoop ass on you bitch. Did you ever watch the movie Reservoir Dogs? The cop that ****ed with Mr. Blonde got his ear cut off and gasoline poured all over you, uh, him.
Have a nice day

Cause you're a faggot.
Everybody laughs.
MR. PINK
Why can't we pick out our own

JOE
I tried that once, it don't work.
You get four guys fighting over
who's gonna be Mr. Black. Since
nobody knows anybody else, nobody
wants to back down. So forget it,
I pick. Be thankful you're not
Mr. Yellow.
MR. BROWN
Yeah, but Mr. Brown? That's too
close to Mr. ****.
Everybody laughs.
MR. PINK
Yeah, Mr. Pink sounds like Mr.
Pussy. Tell you what, let me be
Mr. Purple. That sounds good to
me, I'm Mr. Purple.
JOE
You're not Mr. Purple, somebody
from another job's Mr. Purple.
You're Mr. Pink.
