How Best to Clean the leather Steering Wheel??

[Justinitus]

Maybe a stupid question this but I have searched many forums and cannot find an answer....

My M Sports leather steering wheel has a few slight marks on it so I want to clean it, whats the best way to keep the leather on the wheel looking good and minimise shine?

I have the BMW leather kit for the seats / door panels.... should I use that?

everyone has their own definition of "shine". so i recommend using the BMW stuff you have on say the bottom of the steering wheel and see if that is the look you are going for. if not, it`s not a big deal since you won`t really be able to see it since it`s on the bottom.

if you look up the Armour All line of products, they have high gloss and non-shiny stuff too. i use their leather wipes for the interior as i do not want a lot of shine either for my interior. but i bling up the tires as much as possible with high gloss stuff

Try this gives a nice matt finish http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3139

I have kept mine as new as possible by avoiding using cleaners on it. If you use certain cleaners you can turn the wheel slick and shiny which makes it look and feel worn. I use a tiny amount of Meguires leather cleaner on it once in a great while and am sure to clean all excess off to prevent it from losing the original matte feel.

Thanks all, used the BMW leather kit today on the wheel and gearknob, great result and not shiny at all! Removed excess with a microfibre so its not slippery either.

Good result!
