Caring for Sticky Steering Wheels and Gearsticks

The cleaning of leather subjected to the permanent rubbing of hands requires particular products. In the long run, these leather surfaces become dirty, greasy and even sticky.

 Valmour recommends the following steps (see photos):

 - Photo nr.1  : Begin by treating your steering wheel with Stain Remover HUSSARD Spray Leather and Textile to eliminate the impregnated fatty stains. Just spray the product onto the leather (if possible remove the wheel or protect the dashboard), let it work for 2 hours and then eliminate the white powder which has developed.

 - Photo nr.2 : To prevent the dust to settle everywhere inside the car,  begin by using your vacuum cleaner to eliminate the dust and finish by brushing  with the Oval Horsehair Brush Saphir.

 - Photo nr.3 : Clean off any remaining product and dirt with Alcool Fin A Vernis Louis XIII. This will leave the steering wheel clean, degreased and dry.Then all you have to do is maintain the steering wheel to restore its appearance and protect it:

 - Photo nr.4 : nourrish the leather of your steering wheel.
If the leather is lightly discoloured, use Juvacuir Saphir.
If the discolorations ar not too important, use  the  Renovator Shoe Polish Saphir (small conditioning) or Renovating Balm AVEL Liquid AVEL if you want to care fore the seats at the same time ( large conditioning). f you need a stronger recoloration in certain areas, top up with Cirage Crème Rénovatrice Saphir in the right shade.

 - Photo nr.5 : Finally, finish by giving the leather of your steering wheel a nive shine and appearance with the Shining Glove Valmour made of 100% shabrack sheep skin and eliminate surplus wax particles at the same time.

 If your leather of your steering wheel is strongly discolored, please consult our advice card " Repigmenting Car Leather(seat, dashboard, upholstery... .
