    Angry can't clean steering wheel!!

    the oem steering wheel on my car is dirty and sticky! ive tried cleaning it numerous times with windex, soapy water, and armorall. every time, a ton of black shit comes off, but the steering wheel stays sticky! no matter how much i try cleaning it, more black shit comes off and the steering wheel stays sticky!

    this is a 20 year old leather wrapped steering wheel. any tips?

    stop jerking off in your car, and maybe your steering wheel wont get so sticky! ..........i had to same problem in my old Duster, i scrubed at it pretty good with soap and water, it came clean, but kinda looked dull and scratched after. dont know what else you could do.

    Get some industrial strength leather cleaner and scrub like crazy. Eventually it will get clean.

    armorall will kill leather/interior pieces, sure it looks nice the first time you do it, but then you gotta keep doing it or it all cracks to shit...and how are you complaining about your car, are you back in cowtown?

    this stuff is actually a non fading cleaner that is designed to sweat grease out of the leather poors... works really really... i use it on every used car that has leather, or bad stains on new ones.
