Usually I'm very good about this, but last time I went kayaking I forgot to bring a towel. I ended up sitting on my shirt so my seat wouldn't get wet, but my hands were still rather wet and had salt water/sand etc on them. I COMPLETELY forget to whipe it down when I got home, so now the top part of the leather on the steering wheel has a "grainy" dried feel to it. It isn't cracking, but it feels like someone too some soft sandpaper to it. Anyone have any luck with any particular brand of leather moisturizer type cleaner on thier disco? I usually just run the Armourall leather wet towels over the interior once in awhile, but I think I need an actual "product" for this one.

 

Lexol is supposed to be one of the better leather care products. I think their moisturizer is good, but for cleaning/shining leather I had the best luck with just Armor all. There was a product by 3m for cleaning auto leather that was amazing, but too much and it would eat the leather. For your dried issue try the lexyol, you can get it at pretty much any auto parts and when applied it almost gooey.

 

Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner, two separate bottles.

And I'm pretty sure that Lexol Cleaner doesn't get applied directly to the surface, but rather to a damp cloth instead. And the conditioner gets applied to a dry cloth, and again not directly to the surface.

 

Third on the Lexol.

 

Lexol is good. I've also had great experience with the McGuires leather cleaner/conditioner. Plus, it may be easier to find. Good luck.

 

Looks like its Lexol hahaha alright, I'll stop by today see who has it, I'll report back on how it turns out.

 

they now sell it in pop-up towelettes like "wet ones" they are good for touchup like steering wheels

 

For cleaning I have used the magic eraser with positive results. Something you may already have under the sink.
Also, when I used the Lexol I would just blast the seats with it then use a damp rag to wipe, let absorb or dry for around 20min.

 

i have not had problems with my steering wheel since i cut the leather wrap off of it... just sayin.

 

Lexol is the way to go. Walmart carries it too for a good price. I use all Meguiars products but not too fond of the leather one..probably cause of the smell..
