How To Deep Clean And Restore Your Leather Steering Wheel - Remove Steering Wheel Grime and Gloss

Steering wheels are one of the most-touched parts of our rides, and because of this, they can be left with a dirty, grimy shine from body oils, food residue, and more.
The cure for the common shiny steering wheel is easier than you think, requiring just a few products and a little elbow grease.
Follow along as Jason shows you how to clean and restore a shiny steering wheel to a like-new matte look and feel!
Starting with Leather Cleaner Spray and a long bristle cleaning brush, Jason will simply work the product into the wheel, causing a deep-cleaning foaming action that gets deep into leather's pores to lift and wipe away years of stuck on oils and other gunk.
Leather Cleaner can also be used on other parts of your vehicle's interior, including the dashboard, door panels, center console, and more.
For on-the-go cleaning, Leather Cleaner Wipes can be kept in the car and used to give your interior a quick refresher!
A buttery smooth steering wheel is an awesome way to make your interior look and feel like new. Protect your investment and fall in love with your car all over again!

As always. Awesome video!

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!

[@michaelbelloni8184]

So what product do you use as a protector for the steering wheel once you clean it with leather cleaner spray? If any?

[@slimdaddyy]

@ChemicalGuys My wife over sprayed inside my BMW with the ceramic products and I have spots all over from the over spray. How can I remove the overspray on the leather and plastic.

[@stephenmoxley3004]

I use these products on my leather and the results are smooth as silk and not slippery.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Glad you love your *brand new* leather! 😉 send us a photo of your before and after to our instagram or tiktok! @chemicalguys

[@ravd883]

Great result. However, I'm always concerned about the chemicals on the steering afterwards.

[@Abszurdista-fatalista]

Great video! I'd like to ask about the Nonsense cleaner: To what ratio should I dilute it to so it's appropriate for leather cleaning (modern car leather - Toyota) ?

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! We recommend diluting it to a 3:1 ratio.

[@snoz408]

What if my steering wheel has the heated luxury feature and is perforated? Can I still use this method of cleaning with the brush? Great videos as always by the way.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Absolutely! Just make sure not to spray the steering wheel directly. Spraying into your microfiber towel or brush will help you clean the wheel and minimize getting product stuck inside the perforations.

How often do you recommend using leather wipes? I have a brand new 2024 vehicle and I want to maintain the interior as best as I can

[@ChemicalGuys]

Leather Cleaner Wipes are a perfect on-the-go companion which you can use any time you spill something or dirty up your leather. For maintenance, if you use Leather Cleaner Wipes once a week or every other week after a deep clean, you'll likely never have to deep clean for a very long time!

[@embiggens1]

I've seen lots of folks use a Magic Eraser. Your thoughts?

[@ChemicalGuys]

They can be effective, but due to their abrasive nature (it's how they work!) we would still opt to go with the pH balanced Leather Cleaner, soft Horse Hair Bristle Brush and Microfiber Towel when it comes to deep cleaning sensitive surfaces like leather.

[@embiggens1]

@@ChemicalGuys That's what I was wondering, appreciate the response!

[@juanrojas4722]

Should you use a steam cleaner and the leather cleaner on the steering wheel ??

[@ChemicalGuys]

The brush was able to get a pretty deep clean. You could use a steam cleaner, but for newbie safety and to prevent warping the leather on the wheel we suggest the Leather Cleaner and Brush method.

[@adambennett2176]

Nooice!!!!

[@ChemicalGuys]

Thanks for watching!

[@adambennett2176]

Dont forget the conditioner!!!!

[@ChemicalGuys]

Great suggestion! The owner of this vehicle wanted it as matte/non-slick as possible, but you could definitely add Leather Conditioner on it afterward.

[@ShalomBrother]

Notice that you didn’t use the wipe on the shiny half of the wheel 🙄

[@ChemicalGuys]

We didn't use the wipe because we wanted to achieve a deeper clean that is why we used Leather Cleaner + the brush. The wipes definitely would work on the steering wheel, you just might have to put in a bit more elbow grease.

[@ShalomBrother]

@@ChemicalGuys makes sense! I will say, your leather cleaner is fantastic on my motorbike leathers, takes the dead flies straight off and leaves a nice matt finish

[@ChemicalGuys]

Glad you love it! Thanks for being a part of the Chemical Guys family! ❤️

[@mattcobb5188]

That is literally why he said it is better to maintain it. Not have to grind it down to bare metal...... Oh that was a metaphor. I hope you understand
