Renault sport 182 steering wheel sticky

[Darius]

Hi

I've had a 182 wheel for a few months now. The wheel is visually in good condition for the age no broken thumbgrips etc but recently the leather has become really sticky and it feels like it's melting. After a 3 mile drive this morning my hands where black. The only thing I can sort of describe it is as is if the sealant has come the leather or some thing?

Any ideas what I can do ?

 

[Darius]

Maybe @Daniel can help me with this?

Re trim or one of these

Needs cleaning.

I gave it a clean with an armor all wipe but it seems to have made it worse @Sunglasses_Ron that's lovely

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I'll buy you one for christmas mate

I've just bought a snappy wheel, otherwise I'd of been all over it mate, sorry dave, but at least you don't have to buy me a gift now

How much is a snappy wheel? Those been re-trimmed?

I solved that by giving it hand cream on a daily basis for one week. lots of hand lotion rubbing it with a cloth.

It's just Renault poor build quality, the wheels do "melt".

This was an issue with the ph1 wheel before the ph2, then they made an improvement but the thumb grips fall apart.

What's to be taken from this is that Renault can simply not make a steering wheel.

Send it off for a re-trim and be forever happy.

If that's leather, it shouldn't be shiny. More matt/satin finish.
