Default Any Ideas?

Certainly, I'm not the only one with this problem. Any (cheap) easy solutions? I would love to hear what others have done.
Thank you.

Have it reupholstered, or replace it. Ebay has some options for replacing.

Three options:

1) buy a steering wheel cover (one fits all) for <$25 = cheapest option

2) buy a genuine leather cover that requires sowing skills for installation for $50-$75 but looks factory or better than factory

3) buy a replacement steering wheel (one from GX, LX, also Camry, Sienna, 4Runner, Tundra, Sequoia, etc) that color matches ~$100-300 = the most expensive option

Another option is to find a pencil (shoe polish/scuff remover) that matches color and paint over the blemishes. I would recommend using leather cleaner/conditioner. It really transforms the leather on the wheel, removes the oils and shine and makes it feel like a brand new wheel!

Does anyone know what the name of the leather color on the steering wheel? I found leather touch up for Lexus but need the color name so I order the correct color.

Thanks
