Leather Steering Wheel

[Feel]

I was reading the other night about liquid leather (www.liquidleather.com) to give my leather steering wheel a bit of a spruce up as it was looking a bit shiney and a bit grubby after 40k miles.

Wasn't entirely sure which product to get, so I rang them - the guy on the phone suggested I gave neat hair shampoo applied with a toothbrush a try instead of buying something.

Just done it, and it worked a treat! Brushed it on, small gentle circular scrubbing action, wiped off with a damp cloth. Couldn't believe how much muck it fetched off, especialy on the grubby stitching.

It's taken the shine away, and given it that matt appearance back - not totally, but the difference is apparent.

And no dandruff either.

i have tried and tested saddle soap that you buy from any ridding shop...its also great for leather sofa's.....get the hard block though and not the squirty stuff as its much better..........................

I also thought of leather shoe cream [think it's similar to saddle soap] but I'm concerned about it makin the wheel too slippy or it staining my hands,,, will have to try in a little portion of the wheel.
