DIY: Project Dirty Hands!

I work in the oil field and get my hands pretty dirty sometimes. Well if you use your Z as a daily driver over time this can happen.

To solve this problem you just need the following items: Glass cleaner, any type of rag micro fiber is prefered, and a detail brush. You can pick one up at the local parts store.

Let it soak in for about 15-20 seconds. Use the detail brush to massage the grim out and simply wipe off.

Sweet let us know how it turns out. If it's really bad you may want to let it soak a little bit longer or even repeat the process another time or two.

Will give this a shot when I get home. Thanks for the diy. I was just gonna buy a steering wheel cover, but if I can fix the issue this easily, I'm gonna do it! Thanks again
