Thread: Leather steering wheel upkeep

I occasionally use some leather uplostery cleaner on mine, to clean off the acculumated grime, followed by some conditioner. Remember there is a lot of oils in the human skin.

I use a product from Meguires normally to clean and condition my leather interior.
The other day I used a different product and it had some leather wipes with the kit, I used it and when I braked I slid off the seat!
So be careful of what you use as you still want grip on the wheel.

What,no seatbelt

Clean it first with saddle soap from your local 'horsey' shop.

I use metho to clean, then lavish with dubbin. It generally soaks in to the leather over night or a couple of days if you apply a lot.
My L322 steering wheel was starting to show signs of sun damage across the top. A few days ago I gave it a coat of paint and plastic clear. It looks a lot better. Will see how that goes.

I once Amouralled a motorbike seat, it looked lovely but didn't end well.

After a recommendation from Tombie, I have tried Bowdens Own Leather Love. Works well.

My Auto Trimmer Brother in Toowoomba says. Keep the sun off it and don't use too much oily suff on it. He reckons too much oil lubricates the fibres and they fall apart. Makes sense to me.
