Default Sticky steering wheel

Starting to refurb my 71 and found that sitting for years my steering wheel is sticky and rubs off black.

Is there anyone who refurbs these to like new condition? Do not want leather or a repo.

Your post in the general C3 section should get several responses. '71 is a good year to own, good luck
