Cleaning Leather steering wheel
What's the best way to clean your Leather Steering Wheel and what do you use. I ask because whatever I used on my Original Wheel back in the day, ruined it, it became all tacky and sticky and swelled up. Any suggestions

Hey Fran,
I would use Lexol Leather cleaner.
Then a conditioner.
I resto'd my Steering wheel with Leatherique ... then applied a sealer to it, sealer was part of the resto kit.

Leather takes a lot of care to keep it in top condition. When I had my loaded '03 silverado I cleaned and conditioned the seats once a month. Bought that truck with 23k on it and sold it at 189k and the seats still looked new. However that was the last time I will ever own a vehicle with leather.
