I have a question which I was going to start a new post for but this is somewhat related. I find that my steering wheel on my '09 with 14k miles is quite slippery. It doesn't look worn at all but I find my hands slipping on it especially during turns when shifting. Anyone else have this problem and do you know of a product that can be applied to the wheel to improve grip?

I wear leather driving gloves, always have...Never a problem. A Steering wheel is to expensive and costly to replace.

Every time you drive?

Every time I drive my Z - Received a pair of hand crafted Italian Leather Gloves for Christmas, and I wear them each time I drive my Z (not a daily driver). I find it prevents the sweat in my palms from getting on the steering wheel, especially in "spirited" driving situations - and it looks cool... :driving:

ps: I do have a scratch on the bottom of the steering wheel from a pocket knife I inadvertently forgot in my pants pocket. The clip grated on the bottom of the steering wheel while I was getting out - I could have stood myself up on a wall and shot myself without the benefit of a blindfold or last cigarette (and I don't smoke..!!!):shakes head:

johnz-:barf: try mild hand soap on a damp cloth towel and try to rid the sweaty greasy crap.

I might have missed a thread if this has already been addressed, but how is the wear on the steering wheels out there?
Has anyone brutally beaten theirs yet?
Anyone cut or scratch from keys or pant rivets?


No

Use leather cleaner and treatment,,,persperation and oil from your hands is a killer on leather if not treated periodically!!
