Need to find a cleaner to get that sticky residue off a plastic coated steering wheel. Needs to be non abrasive so as not to mark or discolour the surface. So far I've tried washing up liquid, Cillit bang universal degreaser, and I was going to try oven cleaner but I thought that might be a bit too aggressive. The cupboard under the sink doesn't seem to contain anything else that looks promising...

Have you used that sticky stuff remover?

I've got some, it's the dogs

Get some magic balls while you are there too!!

How about panel wipe? That sometimes does the job without marking - you'd need to test an area first. I assume you have some but if not I've got plenty.

Otherwise......stick it in the fridge or freezer even and see if the gloop goes hard enough to pick it off, works for chewing gum (or take a piece if ice and put it on the goo for a bit.

Sometimes rubbing it with a bit of kitchen roll has worked for me - the stickiness pulls off some of the paper and uses up some of the stickiness, so to speak, keep rubbing and it comes off.

All or none of the above may work...

Surgical spirit from the chemists.Works for me on most things.

What about some diesel or WD40?

blue, next time i see you remind me, i have some surface cleaner, its for comercial kitchens and removes most oil based deposits. its not cheap but works well (only available in 5ltr containers and needs to be diluted 50-1)

Righto, panel wipe I've got, WD40 I've got, diesel I've got, surgical spirit I have also. I'll give 'em a go....

You need GooGone.. Don't know if you can get it here though.

Nail varnish remover works a treat. Ask your missus, second draw down on the right

It's been moved , now third draw down on the left.

Only messin John , i've only been in the spare room.

i vote for ... panel wipe / paint shop degreaser .

dont forget baby wipes worked on my sticky stearing wheel, takes a little time but eventually it comes good, well worth the effort in the end, 1 wet wipe then dry with a tea towel (dont tell the missus) then do the same again & again

wd40 smells nasty so does diesel

you'd also be amazed at what gunk there is on your daily driver steering wheel & gear knob, go on give it a go you know you want to

I usually use isopropyl alcohol for things like that. Working in a Medical School has its advantages.

I've just sloshed some engine cleaner round it, that showed it who was boss. Works a treat. Just needs a bit of a polish up and job's a good 'un. Thanks for your suggestions.
