My steering wheel (standard MY00 wheel) is too slippy. I have never cleaned it with any polish or cleaner. Does anyone know of anything that will make it a bit more grippy?
Dont fancy rubbing it with sandpaper

Used to wear them when rallying but a bit impractical every day.

Also less chance of getting my car knicked if I'm superglued to the steering wheel! Maybe get me an insurance discount ?

Best of luck, I never found anything that helped, but after a while I got use to it and it stopped being an issue.
I trust the car is still going fine?

Have you tried sadddle soap? and I`m not being trying to be funny, it`s used for cleaning the sweat off saddles, bridles and cleaning leather furniture.

Soak a rag in methylated spirit and give the wheel rim a good rub,pongs a bit for a while but works a treat. It's also one of the best things for cleaning the windscreen.
