Default cleaning leather steering wheel.

Whats the best way to clean up the leather on a steering wheel.

Ive wiped it with a wet cloth and loads of black dye??? Is on the rag. The leather looks all patchy.Ive also used leather cleaner and conditioner and it left the wheel feeling sticky.

I can remember seeing a post on pf a few weeks back about how to get a leather steering wheel looking like new again??

Get some saddle soap glen. It's what horsey girls use to buff up their saddles, and is better than any leather conditioner you'll buy off the shelf.

If it's good enough for their pert little bums to bounce up and down on, it's good enough for your steering wheel!
