Cleaning Sabelt steering wheel ?

[finch wxm]

Ive just got a Sabelt wheel , looks like it could do with abit of clean up. I read about using a suede brush ?

What do people recommend ? What have people used and got good results ?

I just use washing up liquid, warm water from the kitchen tap and agitation with a nail brush on my suede part. Always comes back really well and it’s very old and every few months looks hard and smooth.

mine was just like @jameswrx one. Suede brush didn’t make any difference really as the oils on the wheel keep the suede pile down. Soap and warm water, some brushing and a few Micro cloth towel towels rubbing the soapy water into wheel Then left to dry over night.
came out really well..not brand new but pretty close.

@Dr Jekyll is an expert on cleaning these.

Have a long soak in the bath after a hard day and let your steering wheel have the same. Saves on water too as its a 2 in 1 job!

I dont have a bath in my bloody house , can i take a shower with it ? 😂

You can, but I would advise if showering, to shower gel your hands and then feed the wheel like you was taught when learning to drive.

This way, the washing is all equal and you don't slip over in the shower doing mad hard lefts!!

I'm not even sure if its that bad ! But it would be good to clean it if possible if it will do anything who knows

You can leave the wheel in some water with a bit of vanish. Just let it soak for a few hours (your water will be manky!) then dry with microfiber cloths and leave to fully dry over night.

Thays not that bad though so that won't need to much work. Some have been terrible but have come out great 👍

Im going to sort this now my car is not far away from being running , just got to decide on the shower technique or vanish in a bowl. The wheel hasnt done much use to be fair
