Default Slick Steering Wheel

Short of buying racing gloves and using them each time I drive, is there any product I can use to make the wheel more sticky?

Each time I drive, I don't get a positive feedback because the steering wheel is so slick. I have not used any product on the wheel other than some 303 protectant.

I'm running the Dragon in April and need to know. Thanks.

You know that the steering wheel is leather, and 303 is not for leather. I would clean the wheel with a good leather cleaner to strip off that 303. Then treat it with somethin for leather.

It sound like you have sealed up all of the pores of the leather, and that is the root cause of the problem.

Maybe you have too much guano on the wheel

Instructions for 303 indicate that it can be used on leather. I don't, but that's what the bottle reads.

That must be it. I cleaned all the guano off and put some monkey urine on it. It's fine now.

Then the fact that your steering wheel is slick should be of no surprise to you.

my suggestion would be to not use any kind of protectant on the wheel because they all leave the surface greasy.
