Wasso Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 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?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Just a damp cloth on the outer, I hate it getting slippy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of that Zymol stuff is meant to be good I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I just use the Autglym leather cleaner and then the Autoglym leather care cream. No issues with grip afterwards... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I just use the Autglym leather cleaner and then the Autoglym leather care cream. No issues with grip afterwards... +1, works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 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.
