Grabbed Sonax! Love the smell. What brushes are you guys using for the steering wheel to agitate?

I use cheapo low-pile microfiber towels with light/medium hand pressure, folding often to make sure I'm getting the crud out and not grinding it back in.
Two 12"x12" towels did the wheel in the above pic.

Thanks Gunk and Krops. I used one microfiber to rub it in and then another that was damp. However, now that I am driving I find my hands smell like Sonax...perhaps I didn't wash the wheel off enough with a damp towel.
