Does anyone have any ingenious methods for removing 30 years worth of grime from a standard T25 steering wheel? Mine is quite grubby and just feels horrible , any tips to save on elbow grease or is it just hard work needed?

I always use Stardrops.

Forgive my ignorance but what are stardrops?

Not used in a long while but it certainly was a good all purpose cleaner.
If I'm not mistaken contains Bitrex for an exceptionally bitter taste!!!!! Curiosity got the better of me once........... their claim is certainly true!

As mad as it may seem... I actually use a product called "Elbow grease" !!

It's bright luminous yellow, and available in a trigger bottle from most discount stores... Poundland etc... You can get it online, through Amazon etc.

This is probably the best degreaser that I've ever used... Brilliant for loads of uses, from cleaning engines, to kitchen work surfaces.

Don't pay the Amazon prices, as it really available for £1 per bottle in lots of stores.

Builders wipes that come in plastic tubs from DIY stores/screwfix, elbow grease not required as they are that good at dissolving the goo without damaging the plastic wheel.

White vinegar is an excellent cheap cleaner

What about fitting a leather cover? Just a suggestion.

I have to use Stardrops on that as well!
