Best non-sticky leather cleaner for steering wheel?
Hi all,
I've got an '07 Civic Si which has a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Unfortunately I haven't really taken care of it that much but I'd like to see if I can clean it up a bit. I'll be starting with some warm water and soap solution for the first major cleaning but I'd like to find some leather cleaner (not conditioner) to keep it looking nice every week.
So far I've been looking at Wolfgang Leather Care Cleaner, Leather Master Car Interior Strong Leather Cleaner, and Four Star Leather Cleaner Gel. I'm just wondering what would be the best to use since I won't be using any conditioner on the leather since that tends to leave it slippery or covered in residue which I'd rather not get all over my hands.
If anyone knows of a conditioner though that wouldn't get all over my hands though please feel free to recommend something!

Pinnacle Cleaner/Conditioner. It's one product. If I didn't have so much of the separate products it is all I would ever use. Perfect to use on well maintained leather.
Pinnacle Leather Cleaner & Conditioner - Agreed upon by leather care pros world wide, leather requires both cleaning and conditioning to keep it

My personal favorite is still what Lexus recommends for their leather: Woolite diluted 10:1. I use it at 16:1 because I felt the 10:1 was a little too soapy. Works great and cost is minimal.
Edited to Add: If you want a decent leather conditioner that's not slippery, I use the Lexus one. It's made by the company that makes the leather for them. Apply sparingly and buff. It does not leave a slimy mess. Of course, I think Meg's would work just as well.

I use the Wolfgang leather cleaner and conditioner on mine. I love these two products because it buffs down to a nice matte finish. No residue or product coming off from the steering wheel or other panels. Its very durable too....lasts a long time.

I use leather masters on mine, not slippery after a wipe down.

I use Optimum Power Clean at 3:1.
Before that I used APC+ @ ???:1 (too strong I am sure, but luckily no harm was done).
Just put a pile of rags under the steering wheel, spray carefully and liberally, and be amazed at the gunk that comes off.

Leather Master Soft Cleaner followed by Leather Mastesr Protection Cream both water based and leaves no sticky or oily feeling. It's expensive for small bottles but they are good.
