How do you clean your steering wheel?
« on: 17 July 2007, 17:16:55 »
Well, just went and gave mine a wipe over with a damp cloth as i'd had my oily hands all over it yesterday when messing with engine, and most of the black shiny stuff has come off the leather and now the wheel is all rubbery looking and sticky  :o

Hmm mind you the steering wheel is 195k miles old  ;D suppose an upgrade to one with radio controls wouldnt be a bad thing.
 Funny thing is though to look on the bright side, my headlamp washers get nicked, then im left with sticky fingers from a grubby steering wheel  ;D ;D ;D ;D Such is life eh?

Actually I condition it occassionally with the same leather wipes I use on my sofa - from Wilko's.  But mostly I do the same as AA and just use a damp cloth.  Don't use polish - or you'll crash :y

Use Dettol?

I think the government should get off the fence now and have the guts to BAN steering wheels in public places.



That'd solve the emissions question.  ::)

This won't surprise the people here that know me, but I have a leather treatment kit riding around in the boot with the firm intention of cleaning my steering wheel one of these years . . .  ::)

So I guess my answer to how would be 'not yet'  :P
