When you commission a Moto-Lita leather steering wheel, you're not just getting a beautiful piece of craftsmanship - you're getting something that will grow in character with every drive.
So how do you make sure it stays in top shape? Here's a simple guide to caring for your leather wheel.
Why Leather?
There’s a reason leather is such a classic choice. It’s durable, practical, and, with time, it develops its own patina - that unique finish that makes it look even better the more you use it. With a little TLC, your Moto-Lita leather wheel will continue to be your pride and joy for years to come.
How to Clean and Condition:
- Quick Clean with a Microfibre Cloth: A quick wipe with a dry microfibre cloth is all you need for everyday upkeep.
- Deeper Clean with Leather Cleaner: If your wheel needs a deeper clean, use an organic, non-detergent soap or a specialist leather cleaner. Just remember—don’t overdo it with the water! Leather and too much moisture don’t mix, so dry it off thoroughly with a clean cloth.
- Conditioning: To keep your wheel feeling as smooth as it looks, apply a leather conditioner once or twice a year. Just steer clear of anything with wax or silicone, as those can leave a sticky residue you definitely don’t want.
Pro Tip:
After filling up at the petrol station, make sure your hands are free from any petrol, diesel, or oil. These can damage the leather and cause it to deteriorate. If you get any on the wheel, clean it up ASAP and give it a bit of conditioner to keep the leather in great shape.
That’s all it takes. These quick and simple care steps will keep your Moto-Lita leather steering wheel looking and feeling amazing for decades to come.
