I bought my 2001 Lariat F150 S-crew used and it had some grime on the steering wheel, i'm guessing it's just caked on dirt from the previous owner's hands. Any ideas on getting this off? It's leather and I've searched around, and they all say to use soap and water and a stiff bristle toothbrush and it should come right off, but no such luck. Any ideas short of buying a new steering wheel? thanks

 

Oxyclean or look for a good leather cleaner.

 

^ Yep, I had the same thing on mine and it almost looked like the leather was cracking or permanently damaged. I got some McGuire's leather cleaner wipes and it took it right off and the wheel looks and feels great now!
