Thread: Leather steering wheel upkeep

I was thinking similar to above- saddle soap to get the grime out, then use a leather conditioner to keep it soft and stable.
Oakwoods make some good leather care products, and it's easily accessible.

The Oak woods kit , that's what I recently used, it had the leather wipes with Aloe and made the seats VERY slippery.

I have previously been using Meguires on my D2 leather seats, reason is the Meguires didn't leave white spots on the perforated leather seats on my D2. Other can leave white spots in the holes.
I went on the Meguire recommendation when I was inside a Sc store and the Meguire rep saw me looking at leather cleaners and pointed this out to me.
GOLD CLASS RICH LEATHER CLEANER/CONDITIONER – Meguiar's – Australia

I use gliptone cleaner and conditioner. Works very well on Lady P's leather seats and trim, non sticky and leaves a nice leathery smell After using it Charlie smells a bit more upmarket, at least for a day or so

Almost, a number of times for a few days. I didn't come off, more good luck than good judgement.

Beeswax, and let it soak in for as long as possible to condition the leather. Also works great on leather shoes, belts, lounges etc.

I don't recommend any saddle soap products or any standard leather cleaners as most have petroleum products in them. Use a good leather care product. I did a fair bit of research and found an American made one. I have it downstairs and will post a picture tomorrow. One part is a cleaner and the other conditioner. Makes seats and wheel beautiful.

Most popular products are mainly about the surface shine and don't do much to actually condition the leather.

Mine was getting worn at the top, and getting a bit fibrey, I just bought this and used it yesterday, it came up new looking, pretty impressed with the results, lots of stuff in the kit including fillers to fill in scratches and scuffs.
It took about 10 days From the UK
