Steering wheel wear

[RSON19]

It's beginning to be quite obvious now! The moment that messes with my OCD.....half shiny, half matte steering wheel.

I try to alternate my hand position in order to make it less obvious.

Trivial I admit but something that annoys the hell out of me!!

Use a Magic Sponge with plain water on the wheel - it removes huge amounts of grime from all leather and returns it to its matte look - you'll be amazed at the difference it makes to a steering wheel

Fantastic that's got to be worth a go!

Cheap as chips as well

Golf GTD steering wheel after nearly 47k miles - looks as good as new. I hate it when it gets grimy particularly after filling up at the diesel pumps, so give the wheel a wipedown with a magic sponge once a month.

Does it work on arthritic knees?

Does it not take the leather dye out as well? Is the sponge not impregnated with harmful chemicals? Sounds like no? I keep a pack of ‘Water Wipes’ for use throughout the car on the go and they are good, but the steering wheel doesn’t stay matte for long.

Doesn't look faded in the picture...
