Steering wheel cleaning

[Throb]

Sonax Xtreme has a faint citrus odour ( i think ) - it's bit hard to apply direct so I spraying it on a cloth.
The steps I took:-

• spray Sonax on a cloth an apply
• this gets through the shiny,compacted layer
• brush in
• apply water as a mist
• let it soak in
• remove dirty water with a cloth

The cloth was pretty filthy at the end of this. The end result seems pretty good to me. Maybe the water isn't necessary but I figured there would be water soluble components as well as sonax soluble.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. I'm going to try this method, eventually. I picked my GTS up two weeks ago. How long do you think it will be before the Race-Tex steering wheel will need some treatment?

I saw someone else mention that is better to clean it regularly rather than leave it until it feels awful. I waited too long I think ( 18 months / 18k miles )
