I just came in from conditioning my seats with the LEXOL cleaner/conditioner and have been very happy with that product.
Should I just wipe the steering wheel with a damp cloth?
What's your take?
My steering wheel was so dry and smooth that I didn't realize until I joined the forums that it was even leather. I just assumed it was vinyl/plastic. I cleaned it with a drop of dish soap mixed in distilled water and a cloth, then thoroughly rinsed it with distilled water again. Three applications of lexol later and it looks and feels *much* better.
