Machspeed Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Yesterday was a good day, as I got a ton of things done with NO pitfalls! One of the things I did was clean my steering wheel. It's felt nasty for a long time now and had this blackish brown gunk all over it. There are two thin grooves in the face of the wheel and one could barely discern them. Anyway, I wanted to brag on this product called LA's Totally Awesome Cleaner that helped me to really speed up the cleaning time. I bought it sometime back and had forgotten about it. I was cleaning the wheel and the process was really going slow. I tried several things and then remembered that I had the LA stuff. Pulled it out thinking it probably wouldn't be any better than the other things, but boy was I wrong. It made quick work of that nasty grime on that wheel. My wheel, with the exception of some wear, looks almost brand new now. After cleaning the wheel, I cleaned several other panels with it. Very impressed with this stuff! And here's the capper..... only $1.15 at the local Dollar Tree. I almost hesitate to post this, as I fear news will get out and they'll raise the price 10x's! Before they do though, I think I may give up my day time job and become a door to door salesman with this stuff.......only $19.99 a bottle!!!

ArdWrknTrk Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The 10x markup is pretty inviting. The thought of being a vector casting that wide a net, isn't. Yeah, I not only have all that dead skin and body oil, but often glue, caulk, primer, whatever on my hands. It must be amazing to that someone who thinks they're clean(ish) And I haven't noticed it any better in the past year, when im using hand sanitizer religiously.

Gary Lewis Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 That's cool, John! But I wouldn't quit you day job as I can't see you making a go of it. I know what you mean about the steering wheels. I fought and fought with the one that was on Big Blue and it kept feeling sticky. But before I put the later model one on from Huck I really, REALLY got serious about cleaning it 'cause it was gross. Don't remember what all I used, but it was probably Dawn & SEM Soap with a toothbrush. Whatever I used it was a battle, but it finally got it clean and I then coated it with 303 protectant and it seems to have done the trick. Anyway, it looks like you found a good solution, pun intended, so that is good to know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 You don't think the 303 seems slippery holding the wheel? No, it wasn't slick. It seemed to seal the rubber and give it a nice finish. But it was still pliable and not slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swampedout Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I'll have to look into it then. Thanks for the heads feedback. I just did the same thing today! With dish soap, goof off, some interior detail spray... It was one of many interior spots that got hit. I find a lot of cheap cleaning supplies at dollar tree- scouring pads, towels, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
