After dampers, brakes, jack pads, braided lines, wheels… :D

I like your priorities

Heh. The dampers are going to come sooner than I'd expected, I think. I'm hoping to get on track with it in April.

That steering wheel was disgusting. Like, *really* disgusting. Before/after:
(sorry for the blurry!)
Cleaning it in the car just wasn't going to do (and not just because it was 26° in the garage). So I brought the wheel inside. Messing with airbags scares the hell out of me, but it didn't explode. …*This time …
I started out with water and some rags, then added a new, soft tooth brush with a drop of dish soap, and finally I just stuck the whole wheel into the sink and used my hands and some Dawn liquid to wash the damn thing. That seemed like the most gentle approach. After it was clean and dry I tried fluffing it with the dry tooth brush, but it didn't make a huge difference. Finally I used a Magic Eraser, which I think did more for fluffing than actually cleaning. There's some pilling that I wasn't able to remove, but it's about a bajillion times better than it was.
The more I look at the Alcantara the more I wish it were all just leather. It's got a nice feel, but the grey color looks a bit worn out and faded (even though it isn't).

Nice and clean! Good work!
