Quick Leather Question

Today i noticed that my steering wheel is getting a little tacky at around the 12 o' clock position (where i normally hold the wheel). Have only had the car for a little over a month. Is this the leather starting to dry out already? I was going to get zaino's leather stuff, but didnt think i would need to get it already. Any quick fixes? I would appreciate any input, thanks

The leather is getting dirty from the oils and dirt from your hand. I would take a good leather cleaner and wipe the area followed by a quick wipe of conditioner to balance it out. You dont want to over-or-under moisturize that area.

I use Meguiar's Leather Cleaner/Conditioner. It works well and you can get that at Target or Walmart.

For the steering wheel, I would NOT go with Meguiars leather wipes, they leave the steering wheel to slippery and shiney. If you were to use them, wipe with it and quickly wipe with a damp cloth to remove the excess.

I would find something that has no "shining" properties that would consequently leave the leather too slippery.
