Steering wheel cleaner

I've done quite a bit of searching and reading, but find inconsistent and conflicting posts about what works, so I figured I'd ask directly.

I'd like to find a cleaner, specifically for the steering wheel, which restores the supple, soft, *matte*, *like new* feel of the steering wheel the first day you pick it up from the dealer. I've seen lots of cleaners that leave a greasy, shiny residue, but the steering wheel is for me the thing I am most anal about on the car, as I feel it in my hands the entire time I drive.

My car is ~8mo old, and I've been wiping/rubbing it down with a wet microfiber and that seems to help a little, but I can tell it's already losing some of it's original supple quality.

In lieu of buying a new steering wheel entirely, I wanted to see if anyone had first hand experience using a cleaner and getting the desired result, preferably from someone who is also anal about that brand new steering wheel feel and is discerning about cleaners.

Thanks for any help!
