I use Meguiar's Quick Interior Detaling wipes.
It works fine but leaves a little bit of sticky feeling for couple days.

Do you guys recommend anything else?

two microfiber cloths, mothers leather cleaner, and mother’s leather conditioner. Should not be sticky after cleaning and conditioning with this stuff.

Also curious what everyone’s various techniques are. My steering wheel has lost that leather grain feel and is slick smooth. Any cleaning techniques or products to get that brand new grain look/feel back? Maybe a brush?

I realized there is no winning this battle lol I found a nice cover and simply buy it every 2 months or probably more, it was that or give up hand lotion.

Understanding what is causing the stickiness might help solve. If it's the leather cleaning product you're using, maybe lay off it and go damp microfiber towel. If you think there is some sort of product build up that a wet microfiber towel can't remove, you'll have to use something a little stronger.

I use Sonax foam leather cleaner and work it into the steering wheel with a brush. When done I apply Sonax Leather care cream. I use this process for all the leather in my car. Works great, leather feels excellent, no sticky feeling.

I haven’t tried it. I think the sticky feeling is a dirty wheel. Yesterday I cleaned my wife’s GLK leather steering with a damp microfiber cloth. It left that sticky feeling. So I hit it with the Sonax foam and cream. When she got home after driving it today she mentioned how clean the steering wheel felt.
