Sticky steering wheel?
 

I got a realy nice wheel but it's all sticky. I've scrubed the crap out of it and it's better. However everything I've read on this subject says that it will come back once it get a good bakeing in the sun. Anyone come up with a solution? I was considering painting it with some clear, but i don't know if it will work. It's a 70-72 wheel with the rubber injection moulded plastic.

Any ideas would be great. Thanks...

I have used a product called GOO-GONE that worked good. Just saturate a small rag or old wash cloth and wash it down. It should be available at your local Wally World or major drug stores. Give one of them a call and see.

Brake parts cleaner on a rag works well too.

I've heard that no matter how much you clean it that the stickyness will come back... any experience with that?

Alot of stuff will work, I used laquer thinner and then 303 leather vinyl protectant to bring the color and sheen back and its been okay for ten years.

After you clean it it should be fine...

It does seem like they don't get sticky if you drive them every once in a while.

get yourself a few of those cheap Mr. Clean Eraser type things from a Dollar General and some goo gone and go to town on the wheel. That's what I used on my 3 spoke steering wheel when I was restoring it. Trevor

Zepp, It will work fine found out that there is not movement in my steering coulmn. So I can't adjust from there. It's got a thm350 in it and a PG column that is froze up. Just Saturday I Got a 72 thm350 column and it's PURDY.. I'll drop it in this weekend and dial the shift linkage in.. Thanks... bought the column for 50 & Guy didn't have change for the 3 20's I gave so got a prefectly good un cracked wheel and horn buttlon for $10. Yeah I'm living right.... thanks....
