[Shiv]

"you're"

Just in case he missed it!

I too would like to know about a good leather conditioner and cleaner for my super special S401 steering wheel

Alex told me of some bee's wax stuff, but i cant remember what it was? Just that it started with an "R" lol

[Brett]

Leatherique stuff is supposed to be awesome. Never used it myself. Chuck a pic up Morgan. i know you've got one but if the leather is peeling off I have no tips for you. I know how to clean things, and polish things, but not repair things. That Leatherique kit Shiv posted would be where id start.

I cant figure out how to bold the wording, Its gotta be here somewhere?

[Adam]

My wheel is also deteriorating. But too lazy to do anything about it!!

Operation repo is awesome!


Put GoPro outside to time lapse a storm.... Nothing!!! Ffffuuuuu! Next time I'll do a video!

You have an S401 wheel?! Niiiice

I've been using Duragloss leather conditioner for many years now. Non oily, dries immediately and has protected my car's leather extremely well.

I need to look into this claybar technology. Its actually up for a polish. Working my way around the car, I let it go for a while because work got real busy before Christmas. I did the interior today using up the last of my meguiars crap, will be trying something better next time.

Yeah the stuff Alex linked me did look good, most saddlery leather conditioners should do the job... I would think. Renapur? Maybe.

Amour all leather does it for me, weekly. Used it on every leather car I've had.

[Brett]

is the S401 wheel leather or suede?

I posted about leather cleaning and conditioning a couple of months back.
I did a bunch of research into what is the best product, and what I found was that most modern leather( unless its proper Nappa leather or the like, usually found on very exy cars) is treated with a clear coat overlay. So technically it shouldnt need conditioning. Just regular cleaning with a clean, damp soft cloth (microfibre). A pH neutral cleaner is best for heavily soiled leather.

Check out Leatherique, but be prepared to pay for it.
Or Chemical Guys have a pH neutral leather cleaner which I use and have had great results with.

can I just say, and I mean it without being a total cnut, that just because youve always used it doesnt mean its good. It just means youve not experienced better. My experience with Armourall is its cheap, oily, shiney nasty shit that gets owned by just about anything else on the market.

Saddlesoap probably isnt best for automotive leather upholstery. Its meant for very hard wearing leather that cops a good hiding (no pun intended). Automotive upholstery is much more delicate than that.

Pity it's fake.

The show too.

[Jordan]

Probably my favourite shot so far.

[Matt]

Honestly i don't know? I would have thought it was leather, but its pretty much a normal black momo with red stitching and a black centre with the sti logo?

[Brett]

ah ok, yep normal leather then.
