Anyone have suggestions for elimnating my hands from sticking to the steering wheel?Dead
 
I assume the leather is just worn out, but is there any type of treatment that will get it back into shape?
 
1976 model
 
Thanks, Ken

Driving gloves. It's the only sure way.
You can try some of the Leather cleaners/conditioners, too. Lexol makes some pretty good stuff.

As always- Joel is right on - try a good leather cleaner/conditioner. Evem ARMOURALL will work - but it leaves the wheel -slipppery

I don't know if WD 40 is good for leather, but I know that it will take the "sticky out of sticky."  So.....it's your call, Cowboy.Big%20smile

Ron if he would only use Vaseline it would be good for both his hands and the wheel!!! Tuxblacray2008-03-18 16:42:17

Change the wheel, put a cover on it, goof off (sticky stuff remover).  Get one of those chrome chain wheels?

I just saw a chrome chain wheel at the swap meet!
 
I knew this topic would get some interesting replys, just testing the waters.
 
Anyway, I am gonna try the leather conditioner, and if that dont work, that fur wheel cover would look sweet.

Or do what Joel does...  He has a 2 inch nap steering wheel cover that looks like an old bathroom rug.  I think he stole it from Micki and Davids house.   Pssst, we just call him pimp....
