Default Sticky air bag problem ?

The air bag cover on my steering wheel is sticky to the touch. It does not come off on my hands when I touch the air bag. I have tried 303 cleaner, soap & water & mineral spirits with no luck.

Anybody out there with the same problem ? If so, Is there something out there that would work ? My Vette is a 98.

TIA

Sounds like it's been cleaned of protected with something petroleum based!

The folks over in the Car Care Products section of the Forum should be able to suggest some good products and ways to safely clean it. Good luck.
