Rich_p 23 Posted May 22, 2008 What is the best thing to use to remove dirt from an old steering wheel. The leather is knackered so I'm not expecting a showroom shine, I'm not even fussed if it is dull still, I'd prefer that as it'll be less slippery. I just want to remove the 100 odd thousand miles of dirt that's on there to stop it from transferring onto the light suede patches on my racing gloves! Will white spirit or similar do the job?

swordfish210 20 Posted May 22, 2008 I took mine off and washed it in the bath, along with a load of other interior parts. Warm water and fairy liquid did a great job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahl 4 Posted May 22, 2008 Be careful whatever you use doesn't kill the leather! I was advised to use saddle soap when I asked this question waay back. It does work, without damaging the leather, but its a bit messy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pug_101 0 Posted May 22, 2008 APC, (all purpose cleaner) at a weak solution will do the trick. Remember to after washing and drying to treat the leather. The APC will make short work of all that dead skin caught in the grain. A more expensive option is to use a good leather cleaner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonycj 0 Posted June 19, 2008 Baby wipes are the best for interior, clean good and are not harsh on anything. Just my two penethworth. Tony. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MerlinGTI 3 Posted June 20, 2008 washing up liquid on a warm damp cloth. A going over with autoglym leather cleaner afterwards would be good if the steering wheel is a goodun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
