Steering wheel leather in rough shape
What are some successful techniques and products I can use to make it look good again? I am thinking of the leather on the main part of the wheel that houses the airbag.

Its not leather...it's some kind of rubber that gets sticky but can be made new again with lemon ammonia and a towel and a lot of rubbing...it can be made great again

I used GOOF OFF probably 7 years ago. Did a great job but be careful not to get it on anything else that is not black.
