Default Scuffed the leather on my Steering Wheel...

...is there anything I can do?

I suspect a zipper or something caused the scratch. It's not really noticeable. It's not through the leather and it's on the bottom of the wheel... but it's going to bug me.

did the same thing in 2 places- one with the zipper of my jacket the other with a rivet on my jeans.
Used a rag and some lexol to message it smooth, they both smoothed out and I don't feel it, but if I look close I can still sort of see them.
