Default JDM DC2 steering wheel cleaning recommendations

Morning again!

So I have 2 JDM DC2 steering wheels, one in my ITR and another in my 5th gen accord. I would love to get one of them to feel new and soft again like the other. The one that is drawing my concern is very smooth, leathery and harden. I would like to get it back to as long to mint condition as possible. Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm also looking to do this, are you talking about an airbag wheel or non? Stupid question, are they real leather or something else? There are plenty of leather restore kits out there, I haven't got around to trying one yet though sorry.

Both of the JDM R wheels are real leather. Ours are not. Once the real leather dried out, there is nothing you can do to bring it back to it's original stage. The key is to maintain it before it dry out and those kits you mentioned do just that. I was born and grow up in a shoes maker house hold. So, I know this.
