Default Leather treatment for steering wheel ?

Though I have tried many diff leather products I can't find one that will keep the steering wheel "moist" or slightly "tacky". Reason is I like a little grip on the wheel.

I've tried Lexol, Zaino, Meguiars, Gliptone, Zimol.....After a day or so the wheel becomes slippery again.

Any recommendations folks? Thanks!

The conditioner and protector does work very well as Wanabe said. My personal favorite is the CCP (Cleaner, Conditioner, and Protector). It not only smells GREAT, but it leaves ever so slightly more tack. Also great if you don't want to slide around on your seats when hitting the corners hard.

i hate that shiny crap that gets on your steering wheel.

i find it to be inevitable, but try to always wash your hands. It's from sweat and dirt on your hands always touching the leather.

i use zymol leather cleaner vigorously, seems to work pretty well.

Just be careful, if your steering wheel gets a little tackier every time, you are stripping of the finish by scrubbing too hard. If so, scale you ferocity back a little and you should be fine.
