best way to clean leather steering wheel?

Hi guys,
I'm looking for some advice on how to clean my steering wheel. I got in to drive my spyder the other night when it happened to be super humid out and my steering wheel was super sticky. I know most of the leather bits just need a wipe down with a damp cloth, but im wondering if there's a product or technique you would recommend?

Leatherequi Prestine Clean
 A premium leather cleaner with light conditioners, perfect for cleaning and maintaining leather
 Restores proteins that are naturally found in leather for a soft and supple feel
 Completely matte finish that has no greasy or oily residue
 Apply to your leather and let sit for 15 - 30 minutes, wipe with a warm damp towel and wipe dry with a second towel
 For maximum results, Prestine Clean is best used after Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil


Using leather oil-based conditioners on finished leather may cause delamination from the leather substrate. As the oils will permeate the leather via the stitching or any micro-cracks in the surface, once oil gets between the urethane and the substrate it causes loss of adhesion (See also Oil and Oil based Products)

Most manufacturer’s advice against using oil-based conditioners on steering wheels as it makes the surface slippery and could be dangerous if you lose control of the vehicles steering


I'll never understand why people use leather products on urethane finished leather, I can only surmise they do not understand the material they are working with
