Hi Pan,
Koch Chemie se prononce Cor'Kemy, merci !
😉
All product on backorder.
Just watched this, it's 2:20 am and now I want to go and clean my steering wheels. Don't care if the neighbours think I'm crazy! I am crazy. Crazy about detailing, and it's all your fault Pan! 😂
Haha I love it!
Always appreciate each and every video you post. Always learning something new. Ive started car detailing 2 months and 1/2 ago. And just yesterday I did my first clay and seal. Reflecting on how I got there, it all went well thank god. Customer is happy and im happy, love learning and detailing cars. Thank you for being an important factor in my Journey. Keep doing what you're doing
That is awesome! I appreciate the feedback and welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on UA-cam as we surpassed 825,000 subscribers and 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.

keep it up brother! We've all been there. You're in good hands with Pan, he's been there done that and knows all the tips and tricks
Great video, as always, Pan! It was nice to see some new cleaning pad options too. One observation/suggestion based on my past experience cleaning my own cars, and helping my kids clean theirs, is that by that time most people think about cleaning their steering wheels (not detailing enthusiasts, "most people") they are much, much dirtier than what you show in your video. I have made the mistake in the past of just making one or two cleaning passes and thinking I was done because the most obvious dirt was removed. But, it wasn't until I saw some of the Colourlock videos (one with Obsessed Garage in particular) where they showed what the dirt looks like (even after obvious surface dirt was removed) and showed a clean matte surface (like you did here) that I figured out how to tell when I was "done" cleaning. That actually takes a lot of patience, if you are doing "light" cleaning passes rather than heavy. After that experience, I started cleaning much more regularly, which results in an experience more like what you show here. Just wanted your viewers to know that the first time you try this, it may be a longer process to get it really clean. Thanks for your dedication to both the detailing world and to excellence in your video production! Always enjoy your videos, and I've learned a ton in the process, which I now apply all the time.
Thanks Jax! And yes the average steering wheel will be much much dirtier than mine for sure. When I detail customers’ cars, it’s shocking the amount of filth that comes out. And yes many light cleaning passes are the key.
Thx again Pan 🎉That reminds me cleaning my wife’s old Honda accord … The steering wheel had never been cleaned (>10 years). After cleaning layers and layers of “stuff🤢”... i fell confident i was ready to go in the desert and discover the next dinosaur remains 😅
Right on!
I really love your tutorials. Everything understandable and no talking around. I had Pol star already but did not know I could use it for leather aswell. I used it for my upholstery seats. thx man, keep it up
Thanks Leon! I appreciate the positive feedback. Have a great weekend!

Another excellent well detailed video on something that should not be overlooked. Thanks pan🏆
Thanks!
Great video Pan 👍🏻👍🏻. For the clean freaks like me, it’s great refresher on the colourlock vid you did a couple years ago. Well done..!
Thanks Francis!
Colourlock also released a new leather coating that I tested here: ua-cam.com/video/VMNuRSdSWDo/v-deo.html
Awesome cleaning video Pan, Thank you! I’ve been meaning to clean up my IS F steering wheel that’s perforated and needs a good cleaning. Really appreciate your methods and cleaners with the explanation of why to use what cleaner on what surface.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Another great demo. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks David!
Love your videos, please never stop sharing your knowledge. You're the best 😎🍻
Thanks I appreciate the support! 😁👍🏻
I love options and I always look for what may be added to my garage. When it comes to steering wheels I like to make sure they are as clean as possible. I have had clients that believed a shiny leather steering wheel looked good...until I educate them. Then they appreciate the clean, matte finish at the end. Thanks Pan for this review. Might be placing an order.
Thanks Brandon!
@@PanTheOrganizer is this the same procedure for all interior leather?
Great video as usual! You definitely know your stuff Pan!
Thanks Eric!
Ah man!! This is neat. As usual, Pan, you are The Man! (Pun and rhyme intended) 😁You and your channel are appreciated. I started following you about four maybe five years ago. I believe the first video I watched was the one where you wanted to help people organize and keep their homes organized. From there, I also watched and appreciated the videos you first posted about washing microfiber towels, everything else detail related. 😎 The sheer cleanliness, well-thought organization as well as the depth of thought and detail (pun intended) you put into your videos is world-class. Always great! Prolific. I will shall always stay a follower. 👍
Ah thanks so much for the kind words and for your support throughout the years Bryan. It always means a lot to me to get positive feedback from my viewers as producing these videos is a lot of hard work. So it’s nice to see my efforts don’t go unnoticed.
What’s your favourite video on my channel so far?
Great video Pan!
Back in the spring when I got my new car I used Connelly leather cleaner on my steering wheel and leather bits on my seats. I then used Gyeon Leather Shield leather coating bits, really liked how it felt and looked, very matte.
Since then I've maintained with TWHS Interior Detailer "just because" as well as TWHS Leather Mist, Griot's Garage 3 in 1 leather and Gyeon leather along the way. I believe in keeping the leather clean and protected, good mental therapy too. I will say Gyeon Leather is my favorite maintence product, just finishes out nicer and smells like leather too.
I agree, it’s great mental therapy!
Brilliant guide Pan, thanks for the UK links.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Great video like always!
Thanks Nathan!
Thank you so much for this. I was wanting a video for steering wheels. You are the best. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the feedback! 😁👍🏻
Great tutorial as always.
Thanks!
Great video Pan, love that shot of the steering wheel. A very nice looking interior!!!
Thanks!! 😁
Thanks Pan, as always great tutorial video
Thanks Alan! I hope you are doing well.
@@PanTheOrganizer I’m doing well, thanks
Can’t wait to see your contents from sema
Great video Pan! The scrub ninja pads are amazing and so are the products you've suggested.
Thanks!!
I've used Jojoba oil as a protectant on my leather steering wheel, shift knob and leather driving gloves and it has worked very well for me over the years. The oil nourishes the leather nicely and increases the cohesion between the leather glove and leather steering wheel, resulting in the very light touch I like to maintain on the steering wheel.
Since I work in a hospital, my car’s interior gets a weekly cleaning. My Lithium Auto Elixir Inner Space,brushes, and Leather Love does a great job.
I also work in a hospital, 40 years now, but don't know why that would have anything to do with cleaning your car weekly? I admit I do the same, but only because I love my cars.
Pan, as always perfect job. Scrub Pub is great for interior cleaning.
Congratulations on a beautiful car and greet from Poland.
Thanks! 👍
Great Video. I love those scrub ninja pads. They are great for leather seats and all leather cleaning. I also use the colorlock protector thanks to your recommendations. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing!!
Love the video. I always wondered if I was cleaning my leather steering wheel correctly..
Thanks Stuart!
Perfect timing as I need to clean my steering wheel. Thanks Pan!
😁👍🏻
Great video Pan and like you I use Pol star and a scrub ninja! Top Star is a an awesome product but I recently started using DYI detail interior ceramic which you may want to try as I did not see you use this product in the video with Yvan. The point about not flooding the steering wheel buttons with cleaner is spot on. Thank you for another helpful video.
Thanks Neil!
Thank you Pan for your feedback!
My pleasure Mark!
Great job Pan!! Looks like you just picked this up from the dealership. Nice work!!
Thanks Gerard!
Thank you for some new tips on cleaning. I thought maybe I was cleaning my Steering Wheel on my vehicles to often. Great video as always Pan.
Thanks Aaron!
Pan right on queue with another great video! Having some issues with my wife’s makeup being hard to remove from her steering wheel. Those more aggressive applicators look perfect for the job!!
Thanks Michael!
Even how Pan detail brushes his interior is gentle and elegant.
I would let u put make up on my daughter's face any day. Lol
Ahhaah thanks Abel!
Great polished presentation (pun intended) Pan!
Hehe thanks KD!
Pan you should do one on steering wheels that are many years old and have a thick shiny layer on them. I am having trouble getting mine totally matte. After I do your steps, I can still see some shine and I can also easily dig my finger nail and make a gouge. I don't know if its leather or dirt I am scraping off, so I am afraid to clean too hard. Thank you!!!
Anyone tell you, you are like the Anthony Bourdain of your craft. Detailed in and through products and life essentials like he was with food an cultural lol. Love it!
Ah thanks! I appreciate the feedback. Anthony really did some great things for the culinary world!
That was a Paaaaaaaaaaaaantastic tutorial....thanks for the easy explanation, Great Job
Glad you enjoyed it!
I picked up the ColorLock brush based on a video from you a few years back, but it felt too abrasive on my 540i steering wheel. I’ve since switched to using a soft detailing brush with CG leather cleaner solution. Maybe I’m not actually cleaning enough, it’s hard to say because I can’t look at what comes off with this method. I do get some nice suds and am hoping the soap is doing the work. After a few years I’ve still got a matte finish so hopefully I’m on the right track.
I’d been putting a small coat of Meguiar Gold Class Leather Conditioner after cleaning, but I see now that this is wrong! Thanks for the tip!
Multiple passes of a softer brush can work too. As long as you see a matte finish when you’re done cleaning, that’s what you want. An oily glossy look means it’s still dirty.
Well pan, this is actually a new way that I’m gonna try in the near future! I’ve been using P&S express interior cleaner, a brush and a microfiber to clean the wheel. Not the best way but it lifts out most of the dirt out of the small areas
I use the same method based on Pan’s recommendation in a previous video! Works for me but like the addition of the leather protection afterwards
P&s xpress is a great cleaner btw. I use leather star after to condition
@@johnevans715I love that xpress interior cleaner. Works really well and you don’t have to do much. Smells great too
@@Static_MK3Focus oh yea smells amazing too.
@@johnevans715 just me or is it satisfying when you spray it on the leather and scrub it with the brush and it foams up and you see all the dirt come out?
Love the step by step 👌
Curious question, roughly how long does a freshly clean wheel last roughly?
Just in time lol I was literally thinking about this few days ago been using a cover in meantime but wanted to clean and protect my leather steering wheel and drive without a cover for natural feel lol great video much appreciated and helpful 🙌
Cool! It’s like I read your mind hehe. 🤯
@@PanTheOrganizer yea it was quite the coincidence I must say 😯
My steering wheel is alcantara good to find a cleaner for it! Thanks Pan!

😁👍🏻
Pan, another great video and very informative-A request to do the same short instructional on tackiling sunroofs-full cleaning and detailing-cannot find much online and you are the master so I'd like to learn from the best!
Thanks Rick!
I've been detailing cars professionally for over 25 years, the leather on steering wheels is unprotected and is susceptible to the the alkaline salts in hand sweat over time if not regularly cleaned as many on here will know, an APC can expose these compromised areas even further and eat through to the foam underneath. Pan's choice of product and pad are perfect. This is one area where your otherwise safe APC can become a legitimate liability especially if you are working professionally for customers
There you go. Thanks for sharing your experience too! ;)
I cleaned my wheel with apc meguiar before and it peeled eventually
Great video and a lovely car;) I use Gyeon leather cleaner and coat for my steering wheel and it keeps it clean and looking great!
Thanks for sharing!
Great video! I always enjoy your content Pan and the tips and information you share. Do you have any videos about how to speed up on paint corrections and coatings? I always feel like I spend too much time even though I have many years of experience. It normally takes me 15-20 hours for a wash, decon, correction, prep and coating. I read about guys doing it in half the time. Am I just slow or too ocd? Thanks!
I have a video for you: ua-cam.com/video/33ChaMf8dCM/v-deo.html
Hey pan! Love the videos, and in particular this one! My car has an alcantara steering wheel, or on Porsche’s known as ‘Race Tex’. It’d be great if you could do a video on how to clean and maintain a clean steering wheel for this material?
Thanks! Until I make a dedicated video on alcantara steering wheels, you can watch this video for alcantara steering wheels: ua-cam.com/video/T40dVP83EeM/v-deo.html
There is also this video I made about leather and alcantara care with some industry experts here: ua-cam.com/video/pvKJXGRneJg/v-deo.html
Hi Pan. Very nice one. I see you find another way to be more behind the steeringwheel of your awesome porsche turbo S 😎✅🤘
Thanks 👍
Just coming back to report what you already know… the scrub ninja sponge was fantastic! I previously reported having issues getting my wife’s makeup off of her steering wheel and using the same product I have always used (Gyeon Mild Leather Cleaner), this sponge got the product to lather like I have never seen and worked out the makeup leaving the steering wheel looking brand new from the factory!!
Thanks for sharing!! I love viewer feedback. Have a great weekend Michael!!
Good one. I like the break down of just the steering wheel. Couple this video with the entire interior detail you did awhile back and I'm covered. Your interior detail was tremendous. Thx Pan.
Thanks Kim! I always appreciate the positive feedback!
I waiting on video on how you clean Alcantara and fix it If It’s Matted or ruffled .
Love your Channel man!
Great suggestion!
Well made video! That KC Foamer Bottle with Polestar is fantastic. Well worth the money! I use the CarPro glove for my leather seats at home. Cleaning is much faster. I use the LS for protection. Good product but I don't like the smell. A leather scent would have been better. Personally i prefer to use a leather coating for my steering wheel. It gets greasy less quickly.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video as usual Pan. Every time I clean my leather, whether it be the steering wheel or seats, the white stitching turns brown. Is there any tips or suggestions you have to prevent this?
Big improvement. Going to do it on my truck as well. Hey Pan how about a chrome/metal polish video in the future? Would like to see what products you recommend
Cheers

Great video, got to love a clean and germ free interior, when you clean the pad would you use APC neat of diluted down.
Diluted
Great vid pan, I have two questions sir! Would you recommend using pol star as cleaner for the leather before coating it with Leather 2.0 from carpro or use inside/Q2M leathercleaner ? and
which one do you prefere Q2M Leather shield or Leather 2.0 carpro ? Keep up the awsome vids!!
I need to try more KC stuff!
Excellent video Pan! I will definitely be looking into KCX for leather the Pol star is a good size bottle so very economical and safe. I've noticed Maranda detailing loves the scrub ninja. I'm curious for the Leather Shield can a microfiber applicator pad work?
And I'm curious how you feel about steam with leather?
Yes you could use a microfiber applicator with Shield, but a foam one that comes with it works a bit better.
Be very careful using steam on leather. If you do multiple passes with a dedicated leather cleaner and leather brush, you shouldn't need a steamer. Steamers are usually for pros who know what they're doing and want to save on time by cutting through a heavily soiled and greasy steering wheel quicker.
Great video , as always! Off subject question: What is the round button for in the lower right quadrant of your steering well ?
Thanks Randy. That button is a driving mode selector. To go from normal, to sport, sport plus or wet mode.
One product like the Scrub Ninja I recommend is the Griots Garage Microfiber Cleaning Pads. They are 3 for $8.99USD and work fantastic. I personally use those and not a towel for my interior (except for the nav screen)
Thanks for sharing.
Do you happen ro have a video on the best way to clean Alcantera seats, or just in general? I happen to have Alcantara seats and on my doors, and always looking for tips. Thanks for all the great content.
Here is my leather and alcantara cleaning guide: ua-cam.com/video/pvKJXGRneJg/v-deo.html
Another great informative video - thank you again, Pan!
QUESTION: re: interiors, any suggestions to help clean & polish the piano black plastic on my new '22 car including removing & preventing scratches?
You can’t prevent scratches unfortunately. You have to be careful.
But luckily scratches on gloss black trim are easy to remove. Watch how I polish gloss black trim in this simple tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/rX14qgQcgao/v-deo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks, Pan - that link was perfect and hope I can adapt it to the interior piano black panels. btw, I recently saw you in a photo with my high-end audio colleague, Lee Scoggins.
Good video. A couple vidoes ideas since you seem to always ask for suggestions. First one is how to clean underneath door handles, lots of threads about after rains dirty drip down marks from underneath car door handles and mirrors but no good videos or answers. Second idea... Christmas gifts / stocking stuffer ideas for detail enthusiasts. Third basics on how to remove seats for detailing. Just some thoughts. Keep up the good work
Thanks Jimmy!
Hey Pan! I was curious what you use foam applicators for. I see a lot of people using microfiber applicators for tiring dressings or even applying rubber dressing. Any recommendations or even what you use for certain general dressings and conditioners. Thanks!
Great informative video, as always. Love your work and your 911 Turbo! As a relatively new subscriber to your channel, have you ever done a video on cleaning and protecting a canvass convertible roof. My neighbor has just bought his wife a mini convertible and knowing my interest in cars and detailing, asked me what products I would recommend? I said I'd check with an expert and let him know.🙂
Thanks Craig! Quick clarification, it's a Turbo S. Not a regular Turbo, if there is such a thing as a "regular" Turbo haha. Welcome to my channel.

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to respond to my enquiry - especially given the number of followers that your channel has! My neighbor, who is from Montreal originally and now lives in Oakville, Ontario, is grateful for the info provided. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for another fantastic video. I bought Pol Star and the foaming bottle a couple of weeks ago. Work very well. The foam which was produced lasted for a long time. I’m about to pick up a car with alcantara, how would you protect it after cleaning with Pol Star?
Watch my leather and alcantara tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/pvKJXGRneJg/v-deo.html
Great work Pan, I'm also going to clean my dad's BMW's steering wheel 'cause it's very shiny looking. Unfortunately the car got into a small accident at my local mall's parking lot. Some paint transfer from the car which was at fault, and the front bumper also lost a considerable ammount of paint. Probably needs to be resprayed and ceramic coated again☹️
I hope you are ok!
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you for your concern Pan! Yes I'm fine and everyone involved are also fine👍🏻. Luckily the bumper didn't break so it's only cosmetic damage and therefore easily fixable👍🏻
Hello. I'm using on upholsery both product, KC and Lederzentrum but for the steering wheel, the second it is my option. But a better solution is from Valet Pro, it's a soap that can stay a lot of time in the surface. This product lift the residues from the pores and then gently erase the residue with warm water. After this, you can aply Elephant Leather Preserver from Colourlock. But are so many options...I told you just I'm doing in my detailing business. Thank you and greetings from Romania.
Salutare. Elephant Leather Preserver nu lasa un aspect lucios? Mie imi place sa am un finish mat pentru piele, in special pe volan. As incerca Gyeon.
@@SA-he5ej De la Gyeon, Leather Coat Q2. Lasa un finish mat, intr-adevar. Insa remanenta pe un scaun e de 3 luni, pe volan probabil o luna sau chiar mai putin, luandu-se micron cu micron prin frecare. LEP sigileaza porii pentru aprox 1 an iar peste LEP se poate aplica ulterior orice altceva, dupa dorinta sau curarare cu orice solutie igienizanta gen Colourlock Hygiene Reiniger.

Hi Pan, picking up a new vehicle next week (demo car with 2k) and am concerned they simply will not do a good enough job when detailing the steering wheel to get it back to a new "matte" finish. Should one go with ColourLock or Koch Chemie when I get the car? I am sure I will have to clean the steering wheel but just want to make sure I get all the right products in time for my new vehicle. Any input is appreciated!
hello pan, great video as always, I have some questions, do u have a video on how to clean the car's chair with.no extractor use? just microfiber towel and such? thanks
I don't
Nice video Pan, can you do a full detail on your interior with all the products you use on your Porsche ?
I already did two of those:

ua-cam.com/video/m19CMDUOBZM/v-deo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer I saw those, was wondering if you have changed your process...
All your videos are ASMRs, one of the best 3 channels in YT
Great video, thanks. My car has leather dashboard too(as the steering wheel)... Which product do you recommend for protection (after cleaning with pol star), top star or leather star, or something else(like carpro Perl)? Are they all suitable for leather and plastic too? Thank you!
Use the same thing as for your leather steering wheel. Meaning use the same protection as you would apply on your steering wheel, on all leather surfaces. Leather is leather. You could apply to vinyl too.
For interior plastics, use a trim dressing like CarPro PERL diluted 1:5 for interior use. Link to PERL: bit.ly/3RtCnjl
Or an interior quick detailer. I have an awesome battle video on the best interior detailers here: ua-cam.com/video/2Wb7_NlyWUE/v-deo.htmlsi=Y04TLTz0Yna5oo63

@@PanTheOrganizer Nice! Yes I think I searched for turtle wax a few years ago and your videos came up
Great video! What is your take on waxedshine Leather Nourish on stearing wheels? Also do you have any issues with P & S Xpress Interior cleaner on leather? Thanks always enjoy the videos.
I haven't tested Waxedshine products yet. And I have no issues with P&S Xpress on leather, it always worked well for me.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks so much!
A few dr leather wipes on all the leather dried off with a micro fibre cloth does the trick
Hi Pan. Nice video as ever. My question for anyone out there is that my 20 year old BMW E46 has a very shiny steering wheel. I believe it to be clean but can’t get a matt finish. I’ve used leather cleaners and magic erasers but neither solve the problem. I would like it to be grippier! Ideas gratefully received. Look forward to the next video very soon.
Multiple rounds of cleaning are sometimes needed to get the leather super clean. Do you see dirt when you clean and then wipe with a microfiber towel? Is the towel dirty?
I'm not a leather restoration expert, but if you search for leather restoration tutorial from Colourlock on UA-cam, I'm sure you'll find helpful info.
Grazie Pan👍👍👍
Grazie mille! 👍🏻
Hey Pan, do you have anything for alcantara steering wheels, or just alcantara trims in the car? Any coatings you'd recommend for them
I made a video about leather and alcantara care here: ua-cam.com/video/pvKJXGRneJg/v-deo.html
Hi Panos, I have AMG Alcantara steering wheel with a yellow leather stripe center top. I've noticed the yellow stripe is now discoloring, kind of dull greyish film coat over the yellow. I've wiped it using a soft damp cloth, seems the color will not clear up to the bright yellow that it use to be when new. Any tips on how to get it back to looking new again? car is only 3 months old, i've always made sure hands are clean and free from any greasy feel...
See this tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/T40dVP83EeM/v-deo.html
Hi pan brilliant video, I am in need of some leather cleaner as I’ve nearly run out of the one I’m currently using and was just about to pull the trigger on buying this one but did a little research into what ph was safe on leather and found out it’s 4.5 to 5.5 , now with this having a rating of 7.0 is it really safe on leather ? I’m really confused because I can’t see Koch or you getting it wrong and it’s only for doing my own car I look forward to your response
Regards Brad
Oh yes absolutely no worries for using pH neutral leather cleaners. It’s the same pH as water.
It’s not like using a highly alkaline pH 12 APC that could damage the leather potentially.
Hi Pan , i cleaned my steering shell
On my X 3 daily and did twice but it’s still glossy In some areas using scrubbing pad and hard colour lock washer
Perhaps , will Try with APC or the colour lock cleaning spirit to get rid of that gloss
Your take ?
Thanks Pam
Thanks @Pan great instructive video, I just have a question.. I know ColourLock have products safe for Vegan leather but Are those Koch Cheime Products safe as well?
Yeah the KCx products should be ok on vegan leather too.
Hello. What is the difference between the koch chemi LS and the TS. I have leather seats and on doors . So I was wondering if I need both use the LS on leather seat and the TS on doors, dash or can I use TS for all?!
I have something great for you. I met with Koch Chemie experts and they explained every product perfectly in this video: ua-cam.com/video/BO0eAARXfAg/v-deo.html
Pan you ever watch the gong show? With Gene Gene the dancing machine? Well your PanPan the cleaning man!😂 love the videos buddy
Ahahahhaa I have no idea what that show is
Love all the great videos!! Please help. How do you repair a leather wrapped wheel with little cut marks in the leather. I guess my wedding ring caused the damage. Thanks!!

I’m not a leather repair expert, but you should search Colourlock’s UA-cam channel for leather repair tutorials, they are leather restoration experts.
Hey Pan, for the last 2 years or so, I’ve been using Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Inside Job on my steering with one microfibre cloth to apply the product and then one to buff it off. I have been doing this on a bi-weekly basis and it’s been great, but I’ve noticed that left side of my steering wheel (which I tend to use more than the right side) is starting to look a bit shiny likely from build up of hand oils. Would you suggest I consider using a steam cleaner to get rid of that build up? I want to get that matte, sheen appearance back.
I would use a dedicated leather cleaner and a leather brush for that task, not Inside Job. Keep in mind Inside Job is a general task cleaner and protectant.
On leather, I prefer dedicated leather care products which are pH balanced for that (leather is not pH neutral, it’s slightly acidic).
Better do multiple light rounds of leather cleaner and leather than one heavy round of cleaner. Then apply a leather protection once you get that OEM matte appearance.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for the timely response as always, Pan
Nice video as usual, how do I clean vegan leather in the steering wheel? Thank you so much.
Same methods, and typically you can use the same products as leather and it's ok, but they also now make a dedicated kit for vegan leather here: amzn.to/4c67z1q
Man!!! Just in time! I wanted to clean my steering wheel after a long trip. What were the ods?
I read your mind! 😂👍🏻
Hey Pan would you recommend applying koch-chemie leather star protection on a new car? Leather seats and steering wheel?
As soon as you take delivery of a new car it’s time to start protecting all the exterior and interior surfaces.
Great content! Thanks for all the advice and knowledge you're passing along. How about the best way to remover pesky dealer decals. Since these crooked SOB's are charging $5,000 to $8,000 over MSRP (in U.S.) I don't want to drive around with any advertisements for them for free.
Heat gun from Harbor Frieght to heat up the glue holding them on, then fishing line will cut the glue to remove them. Your biggest issue is then removing the adhesive left over. Larry Kasilla from Ammo NYC did an entire video on badge deletes. Pan has a badass Porsche so I doubt you’ll see that tutorial here hahaha , I’d cry if he did that to his. ua-cam.com/video/tE4oeLHHb_U/v-deo.html
I said DECAL, not badge. Fishing line won't help eoth decal
@@SniperUSMC Larry has a video on that as well. Most people use Goo-Gone then a razor blade or pressure washer
Can you use koche po star on the bmw seats?
Pan can u do a alcantarra how to cleaning video? Please and thank u
I did a leather and alcantara care tutorial with the Colourlock experts in this video: ua-cam.com/video/pvKJXGRneJg/v-deo.html
I was waiting for a video like this. I tried to use Chemical Guys leather conditioner on my steering wheel after I cleaned it but it gave it grease/slippery kind of feel which isn't safe for a steering wheel. How about the one you're using?
Thank you for the video!
The products I use are high quality and leave the steering wheel feeling like new, non slippery. Just nice clean and protected leather.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you!
Would you recommend using the P&S xpress on leather ?
Yes it can be used on leather. See my P&S Xpress review: ua-cam.com/video/bz7h-HfSdRg/v-deo.htmlsi=PNm9GNt0riXLJ9rG
Pan , what do you ThNk about the koch chemie leather star ?

Pan, I used the Scrub Ninja with meguiars multi purpose cleaner to clean the steering wheel of my Mazda CX-5 and it damaged the steering wheel. Now it looks like deteriorated in some areas. How can I fix that?
That’s why I prefer to use dedicated leather cleaners. As I can’t see your damage it’s hard to do any recommendations unfortunately.
I think I used an APC that was too harsh and my steering wheel lost some color at the 12 o clock position. It could of been sun exposure too.
Can I just use regular seat dye to recolor it?
Hi Mike! I don't do leather restoration, but Colourlock (leather experts) have many on their channel, like this: ua-cam.com/video/5mlMd4TR7Do/v-deo.html
Hi Pan! Big fan! Question...I have a 3 yr old bmw 3 series...and never cleaned the steering wheel 😮. What products should I use? Should I go with what you recommended here? Or try something stronger? Thank you!
For a 3 year old vehicle, here's the kit I would recommend: amzn.to/3GCpsYa
With this brush: amzn.to/3gcIoCo
And you can see me use a kit like that on my own previous BMW M550i steering wheel here: ua-cam.com/video/ukIuqk8noyk/v-deo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you so much!
Actually...I need to clean and protect my leather seats too...same car. What products would you recommend? Thank you again! 🙏
Exact same products and procedure. Those are products made for leather surfaces.
Thank you!
