So I've noticed my steering wheel is starting to go slightly shiny. Anyone got any advice on how to give it a good clean? Also can anyone recommend a good leather cleaner? My Mrs has got part leather seats in her car so I will use it on them too.

An APC is as good as anything on your steering wheel and as for the seats etc I'm using OCD Finish Cow Food Cleaner and Protector. Two bottles.
Great stuff and easy to use etc.

Hate shiny steering wheels.
For specific leather care I love the Gliptone duo - cleaner and conditioner. It restores the matt oem look and smells divine (real leather smell - makes the car smell like new). Both are easy enough to apply and a little goes a long way. The cleaner should be applied to damp leather.

My normal interior trim cleaner/dressing also is good on steering wheels - Poorboys Natural Look Dressing
Once or twice a year I also treat my leather with Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard, so the steering wheel gets done too. Also great for keeping the matt finish and protects from grease and staining.

All available at Amazon too.

No messing about when it comes to a fellow detailer needing some help!

Cheers mate. Any WoWo developments in the pipeline in regards to cleaning interior? I'd hold off if there was.

Afraid not, there is one in the pipeline which is an electrical appliance but that's all I can say on that. :wink:

Let us know how you get on getting your steering wheel nice and matt again. And no waste if your mrs has leather in hers. :smiley:

You're such a tease Neil. :grin:

Just another comment, you can always use non fragranced baby wipes too for the steering wheel. I've just wiped the drivers seat over tonight and was surprised how much dye transfer came off with just that!
