| Sticky stering wheel? This worked for me. |

I’m not saying this is a cure, If you want a 100% guaranteed cure you’ll have to bite the bullet and buy a nice shinny new one, but the following is what I did and it’s worked for me so far.
Start with one of those green man scouring pads from the kitchen with some warm soapy water. Now we need to give the leather a bit of a scrub, Carefully, to get off the mud mixed with sweat and other crud that has accumulated over the months.
Remember, as my ol’ man used to say, “there’s a difference in scratching ones a  s and tearing the skin off same”. So be gentle, we don’t want to damage the leather. Dry it off well with a soft cloth.
Have a beer.
Now you need to find someone who has a horse. No you don’t need the horse but it’s highly likely they will have some saddle soap which you do need. I scrounged some from my daughter which was a lot cheaper than buying it. Now give the leather a god dose of the saddle soap. You can give it a good rub to work the saddle soap in then, buff it up with the soft cloth.
Have a beer.
I then used one of the proprietary leather creams to give it a final shine and buff well with the soft cloth.
I was so pleased with the result I….
Had a beer or two.
