I don't have that problem on my steering wheel but is on the door panel and the dash. I think when people touch it, there hands leaves behind these residue, could it be their hands are sweaty?

[/quote]He is right, Armorall(once again, however you spell it) is a silicon based product which works great initially, but over time worsens the condition of your interior.

[/quote]Exactly, it looks great for a while, but then the silicon takes over, and its down hill from there.

[/quote]Armourall is crappy and will dirty the inside of your windshield and windows over time becasue the chemical evaporates on to the glass. I believe lexol is a fine product too. Ask the detail guy about lexol and how it compares to Meguairs. So this should be a detailing thread.
