[djerickd]

I just wanted to say hey to everyone! Me being a n00b didn`t read the sticky in teh detailing forum and should have posted here first. If anyone wants to help take a look at my thread. I did a search with no results found on how to clean red stiching, like on steering wheels, etc.

Try the Oxy clean with a stiff tooth brush , mix up the oxy with some warm water into a paste . Hold a towel under the area your cleaning so you don`t make a huge mess. Good luck and have fun.

djerickd- Welcome to Autopia!



Besides watching for bleaching, I`d make sure you get all the oxiclean *really* washed/rinsed off. Don`t leave any there to dry on the wheel.



FWIW, I`d just use a regular interior cleaner that`s safe for leather (like Griot`s). Be really careful with the brushes so you don`t fray the stitching.



Once you get it clean, I`d clean it regularly so oils/etc. from your hands don`t stain it in the places where you usually hold the wheel.
