Cleaning steering wheel?

[Wasso]

I know it sounds bonkers, although would like to clean my steering wheel, this being the leather part of the wheel.

 

I had a thought that my Leather Seat solution would be ideal for this, as the steering wheel is wrapped in leather.

 

Although, I thought I'd punt the question to see what other members use to clean their steering wheel?!

Just a damp cloth on the outer, I hate it getting slippy!

[Wasso]

Hmmm I'd like to get some of the 40k miles hand grime off, I don't think water alone will do this?

 

I may give the wheel some leather cleaning solution to see how it goes.... although like you say, I don't like it being slippy also!

A leather cleaner and condition would do the job? Some of that Zymol stuff is meant to be good I hear.

I just use the Autglym leather cleaner and then the Autoglym leather care cream. No issues with grip afterwards...

I have the Autoglym stuff, so I shall give it a nice clean at the weekend.

 

Cheers for the advice.

+1, works very well.

When I bought the MX5 I was surprised that the leather rim on the wheel seemed to have faded. That was in November and it wasn't until the sun came out in April and I took the top down that I realised that it was 60k miles of the previous owners make-up covered hands that had actually caked the thing in make-up!

 

It was a sod to get off as the stuff had got right into all the wrinkles in the leather but looked much better afterwards. Just used some household leather cleaning wipes.

+2 Kept my leather in great condition all round the car.

 

And moved.

Autoglym applied and the wheel is clean!!

 

Cheers!
