Steering wheel drying out

djimi

This might be more of a detailing question, but Ill stick it up here anyway.

The steering wheel from my DC2 Integra (MOMO wheel, leather I think) has started to dry out and is getting quite rough in places. Is there anything that I could apply to it to stop this from happening? Im not even sure where to begin looking!

Glip tone leather conditioner and some Gliptone leather cleaner while you are at it. It's fantastic stuff, your wheel might be too far gone to save but i've seen it work wonders before. Normally i'd do it every month or so but if it's bad i'd do it once a week for a while and see how it goes.

Nice one, cheers, Ill give it a try. Is it easy enough to come by?

I think cleancar.ie stock it. I never seen in it a shop.

djimi

Indeed they do. Seem to be out of stock at the moment but Ill keep an eye out and get some when they next have it. Cheers.

Try eBay also get a seller with free/cheap UK postage and use parcel motel ,if it's a case of drying cracking leather then sooner rather then later is best.

Its not really cracking as such, just more like the top surface has worn off and it just feels dry and rough to touch.

Gliptone will sort that right out so,once it's real leather

I think it is real leather anyway! I should probably do more research into it, just to be sure...
