Sticky steering wheel
Hello to each other,
the yummy coating of my steering wheel becomes unpleasantly sticky at warm temperatures. Does anyone have a tip to remedy? Cleanings with soapy water or brake cleaner or alcohol did not provide the solution.

I covered both of my A"s with leather covers I found on ebay . They work great.

Re: Sticky steering wheel
... then a good paste wax to seal it.

Re: Sticky steering wheel
I agree, as my 1928 steering wheel does the same thing. I have a nice repro made by Drake years ago, and will install it at some point. In the meantime, paint is probably the best solution.
