Leather steering wheel
Leather needs to breathe. Never cover the leather steering wheel with a plastic protector. Volvo Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429 are recommended for cleaning the leather steering wheel. First, remove dirt, dust, etc. with a damp sponge or cloth.
Important
Sharp objects such as rings could damage the leather on the steering wheel.
If there are stains on the steering wheel:
Type 1(ink, wine, coffee, milk, sweat or blood)

Same procedure as for Type 1 stains.
Finish by wiping the wheel with an absorbent paper or towel.
