Flaking steering wheel

[Towncivilian]

I cleaned my steering wheel with Woolite and hot water, but a bunch of stuff flaked off around the top of the wheel. Some of it was already flaking off so I guess it was just a matter of time.



Is getting the steering wheel re-wrapped a good option?

Thats pretty chipped and worn. I bought a new wheel for my qx4 offline and reused my airbag but I got a great deal on a wood grain one.

They sell pretty clean looking and tight fitting wheel covers aswell as an easy alternative, I rocked a black smooth rubber one for a while and it fit tight and felt good and looked good how simple it was, they probly sell tan ones for your interior color

I'm really happy with the Wheelskins cover, see my post:

I have used the spray refinancing products with good initial results -- but it eventually needs to be redone. If just the finish is going I would go that route first ...........you need to sand off the flaking finish and then topcoat. The end results are like any paint job -- it is all in the preparation. I did it on a couple of the company cars S wheels in a similar color

Wheelskins are a quality product and have been around for years -- They originally came out to cover the thin plastic wheels that most cars came with years ago. I'm not sure I would want to install in on top of an already thick wheel.

Both of my 02's have the black interior and the wheels have held up well.
