Default Leather Steering Wheel Protectant?

The wheel is so small I haven't found anyone making a cover for it. So I'd like to use some sort of treatment on it, but I love the way it feels. Can anyone recommend a topical that won't mess with the way it feels and yet protects?


TIA,
Mikey

try to get one of wheel cover's that look like a girl's scrunchie at the auto accessories section.

you just pull the elastic and wrap it around the wheel.


Hyunda has a bad habit of using cheap untextured leather on all their cars..save for the azera.

i have the same leather on my XG
it's a smooth but flat and boring looking leather..and hyundai steering wheel rims' are so skinny..save for the GK tiburon.
the skin is coming off my Xg's wheel, same for the Gear knob..

use a known product like lexol leather protectant to perserve that leather wrapped wheel.

I like to use Armorall Leather Protectant wipes, they give it a glossier look, but make sure you keep the container closed or they'll dry out! However, sumtimes when I use those they leave streaks but I found that if you go over it with a papertowel after you use them it still has the same effect without the streaks!!

But I pretty much swear by Armorall and Meguirs for my car care stuff!!!
