Leather Steering wheel

[GJP]

After just 8 months the leather on the S211's steering wheel (palma grey) looks quite shiny - any one got any ideas on how you can get it looking like it did when it was new i.e. sort of "matt" finish ?

Try a piece of fine 1200/1500 rubbing-down paper.

We had the opposite problem with our leather wheel. A hard rough patch roughly where your right hand would be. The result of the sweaty hand of the previous owner maybe.
Someone on this forum suggested saddle soap. It cost me £2 on ebay and it's worked a treat. Might work on your steering wheel too. Worth a try.

I work with leather every day and I would use gripstone just wipe it on with a soft cloth then wipe it off with a clean soft cloth

This is what Fred Flintstone and Barney use for their cars!

Gliptone will clean it but it won't remove the shine you want rid of.
