So my leather wrapped steering wheel, like most of them after being used awhile, is no longer a matte finish but rather, it's shiny. I'd like to, if possible, get it back to looking closer to what it looked like when it was new.
With this in mind I wonder if
a) is it shiny because there's a couple quarts of hand sweat in there or
b) is it shiny because the leather is actually polished?
FWIW, there is a method posted around the net that works but it is controversial in that a (supposedly) mild abrasive material is used. I can't get excited with this (yet); maybe a little is ok. I also can't get excited about dumping $25 in cleaners that do nothing more than remove dirt and leave a shiny wheel; I've got cleaners here. Still, if something proven to do the job is out there, I'm all ears.
Thoughts?
