Cleaning "leather" Steering Wheels

[jaco]

I have what I imagine is a leather or leather-like-vinyl covered steering wheel in my ninety-eight (1990).
Color is Maroon.
Is there any way to clean the blackened wear & tear from it?
I fear that experimentation will result in that sticky feel that I can't describe but I figure yall all know.

I'd just add an after market leather lace-on cover but cannot find one in Maroon or Burgandy color cept at JC Whitney for 45-50 bux.
Too much IMHO.

thanks

In my dad's 2000 impala, we just use armaroul? armor all? ( I am not good at spelling) It will somtimes leave a sticky feel, but it will go away, another good thing to try is avon bubble bath (i have never tried this but my mother swears it cleans everything)

hope this helps

If it's "hand yuck" and grease, try a VERY mild solution of Pine Sol and a soft dishcloth. Then go over it a couple of times with clean water.

I have always used a mild soap and water solution (Pine-Sol would do just fine), and rinsed off well with clean water. No more dirt, and no sticky.

I've used all of the above ... no difference. I just bought an expensive wheel cover.

Just cleaned a white int. in my 75 Delta 88 conv. w/ Magic Erasers by Clorox.
Exceptional Product! Want harm anything(no bleach) and cleans like a mad maid!!!

I've used a interior product thats made by the makers of Liquid Glass, and I Guarantee that there is nothing better. I detail cars for a living, and I'm telling you, not to use Armor all, because it will ruin your interior eventually, by leaving it sticky, and it will hold dirt and dust, rather than repel it. It also will crack you dash in colder temperatures, if applied to it. Always read the bottle. If it says keep from freezing, thats a easy way to see that its not a good car care product, and it will freeze on what ever you apply it to.

For real leather, saddle soap can't be beat. It's been around for years and I don't think it would damage faux leather if it turned out that is what you have.
