Looking after my steering wheel

Postby gwhoo4t » Fri Dec 04, 2015 6:37 pm

I'm now on my second steering wheel having taken a gouge out of the first one with my wedding ring :(

This one's now shiny and smooth and getting small craters in it, which are bound to only get worse.

Can anyone suggest a tried and tested solution?

My wife's old Golf wheel got dry and powdery and we got one of the lace on leather-look covers, which was okay, but I just wondered if there's a better option.

TIA

Cheapest way to sort it would be to take off the wedding ring when driving :wink:

Is it one of the plastic/rubber type wheels?

Cheapest way by far would've been to have not married in the first place! :roll:

Yeah, it's the standard zorbo type rubbery one. I've still got the previous one hanging up in the garage, which I suppose I could send off for trimming with leather.
