Steering wheel dirty.
I have a sandstone leather/ wood steering which is now seriously dirty, same with the drivers door grab handle, what is the best method of cleaning these?. I have searched, but nothing comes up. Thanks, John.

Steering wheel cleaning
If the wheel is just dirty and not worn, try proper saddle soap. I use it a lot and is great for cleaning and keeping all leather in good order. It will even clean up oil marked leather. Ive used it on the leather in my 75 with great results.

Mine was so bad when I bought the car that I dyed the leather bits Black.
It looks very nice now. |

You need to get the dirt off before you dye it or it just sits on top instead of being absorbed by the leather.
