I did some cleaning today. I wondered if anyone conditioned their steering wheel?

Thanks
Bob

 

yep.

 

i do - i wipe it down with a warm moist MF towel and then use the KR conditioner. i usually wait 12 hrs or so to drive it so that it has time to absorb in.

 

Absolutely, it's the same leather as the seats...I do the same as smcconaghie

 

It doesn't turn the white stitching dark or dirty looking?

Bob

 

I do mine and never noticed the stitching changing color

 

there is matching stitching on the seats as well - mine still look great...

 

What would stain the stitching would be the oils and dirt from your hands, not the conditioner. I have seen some nasty looking steering wheels in KR's that had decent looking seats. Must have been afraid to get anything on their hands?

 

I guess I'll be doing that this weekend. Thanks for the replies.

Been doing the "spa" treatment to my steering wheel's leather since I got my 2001. It'll be 9 years this June that my truck has been owned and the steering wheel is a nice patina - shinny near where the leather ends and uniform in color top & bottom - though a bit darker than the seats. Gotta' love those microfiber cloths + water as hot as I can stand on my old hands (does feel good though) + (for me) CPR cleaner / conditioner. Most recent pic HERE

 

i do mine

 

Your seats look almost the same as my 02!

We're going to have to do a "post 'em if you got 'em" picture thread this summer for those of us still around who are original owners of 2001-2003 KRs..... mine needs a good Zaino job & it's good to go...

 

I do.
