Anyone have some good tips on how to get my steering wheel a bit nicer looking? Mine is basically black all round the edge.

Is your's the light brown interior? I have tried with many different solutions. Issue is after a while the leather gets very damp.
I have made significant improvements to the dark staining. This is a mixture of protein, dirt & grease.
AG leather cleaner may get some of it off. But it is painstaking. I have also tried a bowl of warm water with a small amount of biological detergent, a clean dishcloth & a drying towel.
Or you could just cheat & buy a steering wheel cover.

Its grey interior, I used some elather cleaner as a test which bought loads of brown and black crap off, then i used a dash wipe thing which made it sticky! (i wiped it off with a damp cloth) i think it needs a brish or something mixed with some strong cleaner to get most off.
I have a steering wheel cover - but they look lame! Id like a steering wheel with the walnut trim but they seem hard to come by - or far too much money.

What about dying it?

Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.

Babywipes to start with,leather cleaner from Autoglym afterwards with lots of care and patience
Astonish household cleaner, you clean ovens with it! Trouble is it will strip it completely back to whatever its made of. You'll then have to feed it or it will mess it up. I clean my elbow lean points with it; driver door window sill and elbow rest by the handbrake. It strips it back but makes it sticky so ends up getting dirty again, vicious circle!
