Re: Sticky steering wheel
I remember my friend had the same problem.. I think he poped it off and washed it with warm water and Tide soap. He tried a bunch of other stuff but non of it really helped

Re: Sticky steering wheel
I used simply green on mine. Worked for about a month then slowly started getting stickier. Back to being really bad on hot days.

Re: Sticky steering wheel
Slip on cover ? I like the feel of a thicker wheel.

Re: Sticky steering wheel
I cleaned with simple green and then tossed on a cover. I also like the feel of a thicker wheel, otherwise it seems like I'm driving a lawn tractor.
