dirty leather wheel steering

Any suggestion on cleaning the dirty leather wheel steering? I'm skeptical using Leather Conditioning on them, I want to avoid to have "slippery" wheel steering. Mine (tan leather) has real dirty "marks" all over on them, and has some "sticky" spots. I used wet rag to rub on it, it helps some but collects the dirty marks quick afterward. How about rubbing alcohol?

Saddle Soap

In my truck I always use either Lexol leather cleaner and then the Lexol brand conditioner or I use a leather product called Bick4. IMHO both work equally as well to clean and protect without leaving the leather slippery at all.

Thanks guys.... I'll try this Lexor cleaner and update on the result afterward.

I like saddle soap as well for all my leather. However, I was give bottles (leather/vinyl cleaner and conditioner) of Blue Magic and it seemed to do a pretty good job.

I'm on my second truck with leather steering whell and I put a cover over this one the second day I owned it. My last one would never clean up and actually continued to get worse. BY the time I turned it in it had actually worn off the top layer of leather. This is a major flaw with Ford's.

Find a similar color of leather dye, and the second layer will look like the first again.
