I am afraid it is because the leather conditioner I tried to apply, but am not totally sure. What is best used to clean (and possibly condition) the wheel? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You can try Lexol leather cleaner, saddle soap, or Simple Green. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply) ynotssor View Public Profile Find all posts by ynotssor Add ynotssor to Your Buddy List   #3   10-05-2006, 07:00 PM Me Junior Member   Join Date: Mar 2005 Posts: 213 Cleaning leather steering wheel "Ray O" <rokigawaATtristarassociatesDOTcom> wrote in message news:a1619$45248013$180ffe52$942@msgid.meganewsser vers.com...

These two products used in conjunction with each can keep leather steering wheels, seats, armrests, etc. looking really nice. Ron M.

As a note, I had the same thing as you and tried LExol leather cleaner and all it did was PEEL the leather MORE. This is becuase our steering wheels suck lol. So then I went to pep boys and applied the $10 cover as a temporary fix until I can ship my wheel to wheelskins. -- NYLexSC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NYLexSC's Profile: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/m...hp?userid=47586 View this thread: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=158825 NYLexSC View Public Profile Find all posts by NYLexSC Add NYLexSC to Your Buddy List   #5   10-06-2006, 08:43 AM Robert Junior Member   Join Date: Jan 2005 Posts: 15 Cleaning leather steering wheel "NYLexSC" <NYLexSC.2f9a7m@no-mx.forums.yourdomain.com.au> wrote in message news:NYLexSC.2f9a7m@no-mx.forums.yourdomain.com.au...

Its the nature of the beast.
