Actual cure for a sticky leather steering wheel?
In terms of things getting sticky, I saw the dashboard control buttons on a 2005 Mercedes get this way. Must be due to a reaction from the hot environment here over the years.
One of the buttons like this on my A4 shriveled and cracked. Thankfully it is just this one button. Could be just how the material it is made out of reacts.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Toyota extended a 10 year warranty for dashboards that went "gummy". A neighbor has one 20 years old with a nasty dash cover.

Had that on my 99 Suburban steering wheel.
The only fix is to replace it.

Some people say isopropyl alcohol works.
I believe I’ve also heard makeup remover can help and possibly nail polish remover.
Last time I had to deal with it I tried Rapid Remover and was surprised it had little effect on it.

I’m curious, how much does it cost to replace a steering wheel?

It’s a classic suburban and I found a mint steering wheel on eBay for 400. Think I paid 150 to have it installed?
