i want to clean my leather steeringwheel and seats .
How do you guys do it , thanks in advance!!
Unless they are heavily soiled, a damp cloth and mild detergent are all that is needed. Its a synthetic leather anyway. I use Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard every 6 months to give some abrasion and stain protection.
thanks mate , but my car has real leather on the seats and steeringwheel ... i'm gonna try it your way though!

robgee, I'll send you some pics. I do use a lot of Autoglym products but other stuff for wheels and waxing.

I wish, there was some good promo deals in Halfords last year although a lot of my stuff comes from Amazon and eBay.

You can do a contactless wash using a pressure washer and foam lance but they are not perfect. You can still see a slight film of dirt when the car is dry and of course you wouldn't want to take a drying towel to the car unless you knew it was 100% clean. I live in a hard water area so unless I physically dry the car, I get these horrible white calcium spots all over.
