SLegacy99 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Ok lookin for advice on my steering wheel. I have no clue what its made of. It was smooth and shiny but now its faded and has blotches of grossness. Expected for a 7 year old car. So what can I do to make it shine again? And the owner before me must have had lots of rings (or a big wedding ring) because there are marks all over the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 ^ Hey, I resemble that remark! ---- OK, my (mental) age nonwithstanding, I see your options, 99, as being limited to (1) finding a junker that has a wheel in good condition, with airbag intact, (2) going with an aftermarket "overlay" type cover, or (3) going with an aftermarket "stitched-on" type of leather sleeve/cover. If you're planning to do away with the airbag, though, it's almost always possible to retrofit various aftermarket "sport" steering wheels, provided that there's a hub/adaptor to-match your vehicle.

Gire Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 groady? are you twelve? :lol: I haven't heard 'groady' in a looooong time. I used to say it all the time- in '85. Hope your steering wheel woes work out. Have you looked into another used (but better condition) one from a wrecker? Even with the airbag built in, it probably wouldn't run you too much.
