Use Lexol leather cleaner and then use the Lexol Conditioner. you can buy it at most auto parts stores i bought mine at advanced auto. 10 bucks for each one. Best leather cleaner out there.

the padded part in the middle where the horn button is mounted on comes off with screws... i took that off, and i had access to the back of the horn button.... i took off that little circle metal thing... and did everything to take it out.... pressed the clips, turn the button in various directions... but it wont come out lmao

WOW i feel like a brand spankin new noob :]

my guess for getting the center out would be make sure all screws are out and if theres a retaining ring or any other c-cliptype thing make sure its out, and take the handle of a hammer and punch it through lol...just my theory. probably just has plastic clips holding it in place after the hardware is removed.

It's upside down!

I have a Momo Race... wish I bought a Momo Racing Model 78 in suede, but at least it still looks cool.

BTW, don't forget to get a big old spacer for the wheel... at least 80mm IMO, if you're over 5'10".

I've experimented with a lot of leather cleaners and conditioners on various cars. For leather on seats I'm a big believer in Leatherique.

But for steering wheels and gear shift ***** I use different stuff.

For cleaning I use Tanner's Preserve Leather Cleaner. It can be hard to find in stores these days. The last time I bought it I did a Google search and bought it online.

Then after cleaning I treat the steering wheel and gearshift **** with Mother's Leather Conditioner. I apply it, wait a minute or two, then wipe off the leather with an absorbant rag or a paper towel. You don't want it too greasy or slippery, but this stuff helps protect against the sweat from your hands which degrades the leather over time. The more sweat you leave on your leather steering wheel the more frequently you have to go through this routine.
