My car has 63k miles on it right now and the steering wheel looks like its 14 years old.. it looks as if the leather is almost cracked and rubbed off etc etc .. at one point i actually went ot the dealer to replace it but it was no longer under warranty so i just stuck with it... so i thought about using some leather cleaner / conditioner on it to see if i can bring it back to normal .. or at least presentable. A while back I bought a cleaner and separate conditioner made by blue eagle i think (pep boys .. it was cheap). it worked well on my leahter gloves so i decided to try it.. i used the cleaner on a small portion.. then conditioner.. while it looked a little better, it left that spot sticky as if someone just took some duct tape off of it.... weird...... so i decided to go back and get meguiars cause i know they make excellent stuff.
First thing thats great - this is a cleaner/conditioner in one which is a plus. Second, its a cream (the other thing was a spray = more messy). It took a while for me to do the whole wheel and i turned a whole terry cloth towel practically black, but man was it worth it. the wheel looks brand new. It has the original leather shine (not that armorall type of shine) and it feels so much better now.. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product to anyone who need to spruce up some leather. The other nice thing is that this stuff doesnt have a bad smell. The spray stuff I used smelled pretty toxic
Meguiars is awesome... (i tried their tire dressing stuff and that rocks too!)

The Leather shop that does a lot of the highend home funiture leather work actually recommended Meguiars to me.

Haven't used it yet myself, but your success helps convince me to try it.

Thanks -

Meguiars #10 and #17 (clear plastic polish and clear) is great **** also! I do prefer Lexol's leather cleaner/condition though.

Lexol leather cleaner/conditioner is not available in Canada, at least not in Toronto area. I tried Crappy TIre, Walmart, Zellers and nothing.
Any one knows where I can find one in Canada?
TIA

Augustow:

To find Lexol stuff, you may be able to find em at those Asian car accessories shops in some Asian/Chinese malls. Here in Vancouver, i'm able to get them there.
