I have some problem!
My solution is changing the steering wheel! |

Actually you are right. The cleaner works really well on the seats. I'm eager to try the hot water. Thanks for the tip.

I've only ever seen Alcantara wheels wear really poorly, though i've never owned one myself.
Mercedes AMG Alcantara wheels are particularly bad.

I get a microfiber towel then I soak it with warm to semi hot water. Rub it through the whole steering wheel and repeat the process. I did this twice and I always get very good results. You might encounter some areas where sheen will show no matter what but it’s better than having the whole shiny steering wheel.

So what about the warm wet MF to the Dakota seats? Mine's are shiny, especially the driver's bottom, and I've just given up on cleaners, don't trust any of them anymore.

Should work really well. All car leathers are coated these days, so warm water with a clean MF should do the job.

Yes. Works great, opens up all pores. I do that type of deep cleaning 3-4 times per year.

Sorry to bring the old thread up. Finally found a simple and quick easy way to clean the shiny leather steering wheel and bring back the matte color back.
These were the items I used: - Leatherique cleaner -Zaino leather conditioner/lotion (I used this over Leatherique rejuvenate because it's quicker) - electric facial brush (retired from my wife) but you can get it cheaply on amazon or at Sephora - boar hair or horse hair pencil brush for tight and hard to reach area - 2 microfiber towels (one to wipe off the cleaner and one to wipe off extra leather conditioner/lotion) First I sprayed some leatherique cleaner onto a quarter of the steering (so the cleaner didn't dry up while I clean the other section). Then sprayed some cleaner onto the electric facial brush and start cleaning. I let the electric brush did all the cleaning for 20-30 seconds and i didn't apply too much pressure. After that, I sprayed the leather cleaner onto a horse hair pencil brush to clean the hard to reach area such as the curves around 3/6/9 position. Remember to clean in circle like how you wax the car. Use a microfiber towel to wipe off the cleaner on the steering. Volla!!! The steering is back to matte black color! I put leather conditioner on my palm and applied it onto the steering by hands and wipe off the residue with another microfiber towel. Below are before and after photos Hope this help you guys.
