Steering wheel creaking

My steering wheel makes a creaking sound usually when making left hand turns and usually only while parking because I need turn the wheel more than 30degrees to park lol.

This is the other issue I have been searching for answers on, seems other people have different noises than I do.

As far as I can tell it's just a leather squeak and not a steering rack problem. Any way to quite the squeak down? I'd like to know what kind of spray I can use and where.

Thanks

Silicone in the right places does wonders.

Any brand of silicon you recommend? I may spend Saturday before my trip tracking down squeaks.

Okay thanks, I'll give that a go tomorrow after my tires are balanced. Got the car all shiny today, still need to really clean the leather though.
