I'd hate for you to soak it and have the glue possibly break apart.

Good point. It's not really dirty, just figured it might be easier that way to rinse off residual cleaner. I've been using a Terry towel and Adam's carpet and upholstery cleaner, and then a damp cloth. The Terry towel helps with the nap and refresh the fibers.

Squeezed it dry with a microfiber cloth and let it dry in the sun for a few hours. came out perfect. Literally took 5 minutes to rinse all the Dawn out the last time though. |

Soap residue holds more dirt, and that's what i was worried about. I'll remove it and rinse it.

I already bought a new one. But i just did this with my old one, works great. Hot water, Ajax, and a tooth brush... Took a hardened like knob and turned it fresh like the new one.

I enjoyed hearing what techniques every one uses for cleaning. I couldn't wait to replace mine with something else. My original one is sitting in a drawer under my workbench. I will try one of your ideas on my steering wheel when it gets dirty.

Throw a suede brush in your glovebox, and just try to hit it every other week and it should stay feeling nice for a long time.

That's the real key, i use a toothbrush on everything like every 2 weeks at least. Same when I had other cars with micro suede or alacantara.

I was cleaning mine a week ago and notice the suede on the knob was starting to come apart in that seam just above the stitches. Where's a good place to get a new knob only and how hard is to take the old one out?

Pretty easy to remove the knob. there is a screw hidden under the boot collar.

Then I found this article and followed directions to the letter. I used a few drops of a different dish washing soap in a bowl of water then soaked a microfiber towel in it and rubbed the knob and steering wheel with a twisting actions fairly vigorously. Then rang out the town and rinsed it in clean water and repeated the action then wiped it dry. All with micro fiber towel. Now looks like new. |
