Use leather cleaner and a microfiber cloth so you don't damage the leather. You can also use the leather cleaner to wipe down the other components in your car.

Spray leather cleaner onto a microfiber towel and wipe the steering wheel down until there's no residue left. Leather cleaner is gentle enough to use without damaging the material.

No, it doesn't. However, you should not spray the cleaner directly onto the steering wheel, since you could accidentally hit the gauges on the dashboard.
