Jason87 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 As I bought some auto finesse "total" all purpose cleaner but the steering wheel is still shiney. I was hoping this would bring it back to matte? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenFord Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 What wheel do you have? Title says 'Mk2', but profile is 2016 year which is Mk3 as far as I'm aware. You can get leather wheels on eBay for £30 odd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I bought a leather cruise wheel brand new for my Mk2.5 and it was textured/matt. If yours is smooth and shiny through years of wear then there's not much you can do. If it's just rank from years of greasy hands then a degreaser should help. I use kitchen antibac wipes on mine... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason87 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 its mostly shiney on the top. I thought cleaner would restore it back to matte but maybe it cant be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 You can maybe try degreasing it could be years of oily skin. This stuff is amazing and very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Whenever I've got a car with a filthy interior a "magic eraser" and some all purpose cleaner becomes my best friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 A magic eraser and a bit of water is usually more than enough to restore the leather of the steering wheel to the original matte factory finish. However a magic eraser is basically an abrasive so regular use on the steering wheel should be avoided at all cost. Regular use will damage the surface of the leather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
