When cleaning your car you probably stick to the outside and windows, and maybe if you feel ambitious you’ll break out the vacuum for the floors and seats. Like most of our customers we don’t have time to detail our car every weekend, but there is one part of your car that we’re sure you’re forgetting about: the steering wheel. Your hands are on it whenever you are driving, which means that whatever is on your hands is now on the wheel, including germs, dirt, sweat, body oil, and who knows what else. There are only two parts to properly cleaning your steering wheel. The first is to use a damp cotton cloth with some leather cleaner on the steering wheel to wipe away and loosen any dirt or grime on the surface. Rinse the cloth and wipe away the cleaner before drying with a soft towel. The second step is for leather wrapped steering wheels so if you don’t have one. you’re done! If you do have one, take leather conditioner and rub it into the wheel using your hands. This helps to replenish the natural oils found in leather and will help to keep it from cracking and peeling. Let the conditioner sit for about 30 minutes then wipe away with a clean towel. Maintain a clean wheel between deep cleans with prepackaged quick wipes. De La Cuesta, Stefano.
