The leather steering wheel on my A4 has got a bti sticky. What have people found the best to clean one without bleaching the colour or leaving a residue?
How would you clean leather?

Use ordinary toilet soap - the stuff you wash your face with - and a
*damp* - not wet - cloth, rinsing it frequently. For stubborn stains use a nail brush. Avoid getting it any more wet than necessary. When dry, use some hide food. Then polish with a clean cloth.
Saddle soap (which, unsurprisingly, you can buy from equestrian supplies shops) is excellent. Nowadays it's available as a solution as well to save the elbow grease. Those kinds of shops will also have leather balm to nourish dry leather.
One quick Google search and here's a UK mail order supplier:
