Are your hand rough like sandpaper?

[vr2turbo]

I was at my mechanic and happen to see one of his client's car steering wheel.....
Normal looks like this....okay?

Wah! this part wearing off like someone sandpaper it....

The top part wear off half way already

Have not seen anything like this before. Cracking, dry off then yes but not wear off.....

i think it will be like this.. my evo also happened to be like this just on the right side.. but on the other side is still okay.. maybe i'm always using and driving the car.. need to buy the okay one before bring it back..

 

[vr2turbo]

My car is 21 years old and own it for 12, steering is still in good condition.....

 

[arturo]

VR2...my steering wheel looks like that...but my hands soft like baby bottom.

 

[oka887]

maybe because of the material made for the steering.. i park the car under the sun here so when summer in car will be overheat..
and maybe also i'm using a lot of right hands only.. the left hand on the gear lever.. when drive faster need to hold really tight on the steering.. my old car also still in good coditions too..
and yeah.. my hands is really soft.. old time send newspaper only in the morning

is it hyudai matrix..? i think it is quite common for korean car. more to unsuitable climate..

 

[cvkit17]

Looks like oxidation...v2r ur car steering sure still new after 21 years lar. I already said u r sifu but u dowana admit.. So now it's time to admit it! Without ur care and protection, how could they last?

 

[LesleyAprotto]

I think its because of our sweat,

Our sweat is very saltishly corrosive....

Yup. the Matrix.
Because all of my cars never had problems with steering wearing out like that so I was pretty shock to see this one....

Bro. cvkit, My 21 years steering actually gone more shinny with use. It has actually worn the rough feel to become smooth and shinny.
Actually no care for the steering especially the outer ring, because if apply those protectant will become slippery

 

[cvkit17]

Then it might be ur hand that is protecting them all these while LOL!

I do apply some leather / vinyl protectant once in a blue moon. Other times I just wipe it with a damp cloth. I usually only apply a very small amount, spread them, then let penetrate for 5 minutes, then wipe off with MF cleaning cloth. I can feel the wax but not slippery. Thus I still use this method, feeling that it might provide some protection even if it is minimal haha..just feel comfortable with the intention

I've seen my friends' car steering peel off due to scratches from rings.... The steering looks very horrible lol

 

[D7zul]

my hand is soft like baby's bottom..

my steering is still in good shape like my bottom..

 

[peeche]

Yup. the Matrix.

i think maybe the material problem.. can't withstand our climate and our baby skin..

Wah, all got hands like baby bottom Yep my hands are rough like sandpaper. If go check thumbprint using those devices for sure cannot read my thumbprint

People even think that I work in the fields or construction site, but in reality most of the time in the office typing documents haha. Seems like my hands are like this because of a certain disease (?). Peeps at KWSP (after trying to apply for online access of checking of your KWSP account) advice me to get somewhat like a pardon letter stating that my hands have this type of condition so I'm exempted from checking my thumbdrive with my MyKad.

Guess gotta make a new IC in due time. The card's film (dunno what its actually called) is starting to peel off.


Anyway back on topic (always diverting when theres vr2turbo and cvkit17 present in forums ).

I think its the material construction. My previous steering wheel that was used for around more than 15 years didn't had this problem.

This steering wheel is made of PU, which the material has a lifespan. It disintegrates over time. Just like tyre and your shoe sole.

Sweat and sunlight will eccelerate where it exposes the most.

 

[arturo]

yah..mine is PU and constantly exposed to the sun. no sweat. i always wipe my hands if sweaty before touching anything in the car. its getting worse as it's flaking pieces off...sometimes when i take my hands off the wheel...a small piece will get stucked on my hands n i'll wipe it off. been putting off getting a replacement cos dont wanna waste money on non value added mods hehe

Put steering cover haha ! But I noticed that not many like to use steering cover. I am not fancy of it too coz it cause the steering bigger to hold lol

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

My kelisa steering wheel is something like that...rough to the touch with some skin peeled off...Well, since is a 2nd hand, that
is kinda small issue. As long car is good condition.

Thought of replacing the steering with a new one but cant anyone selling...
