After 23 years of use and a twice yearly feeding with Glipton liquid leather my steering wheel on my last long run was feeling sticky around the 3 O'clock position. I decided to have a look on line regarding what to do with a "sticky wheel" :lol: Anyway, I followed a rather annoying US YouTube video instruction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHG3UBgi6Tw) and hey presto the wheel is back to semi matt, smooth and no longer sticky.
I could not believe the amount of dirt that came off the wheel. At first I thought that I was removing all the black dye but not the case, a mixture of dirt and dye I think but the wheel is still black so no problems. I had to clean it a couple of times to remove all the dirt but I am pleased with the result. I used a Ph neutral liquid soap, a 3M blue scotch pad, a scrubbing brush and a tooth brush for the small hard to get to areas. I let it dry out for 24 hours and then applied a light feed of Glipton liquid leather, I repeated the feeding 2 more times over the next 48 hours and job done.
