Stearing wheel?

[Johnson13]

So my Alcantara stearing wheel has gone smooth where my hands go, and little peices are coming off. Is there a method of getting the texture back, or am I hooped?

Same here. Did it for the first time just the other day. Seems to help quite a bit.

I also wear cheap RaceQuip racing gloves 90% of the time to keep the wheel from getting grimed up, and dry hands don't have much grip on the alcantara They are actually pretty warm in the winter so I shovel snow in them also

I also use fingerless gloves (similar to weight lifting gloves) to keep my sweaty palms off the wheel in the summertime.

I've been using a glove from Lowes, rubber coated and used for doing yard work, and they come in gray so they don't look bad.

Thanks guys, I'll give that a try. I might have waited to long to ask, as the fabric is pretty smooth now.

Too much white knuckle driving!

When the 2012 Boss came out, a new steering wheel was under $200. 2012 GT owners started buying them up, so Ford jacked the price to $311.

I always wear gloves, but the steering wheel will eventually look like crap anyway. When I went to Track Attack I got a preview of how crappy it could end up looking.

I'm on the fence about buying one and putting it away. Even if I never use it, eventually I would get my money back, because in ten years people will be begging for NOS ones. I already bought a set of factory mats, a front spoiler, and a red key, because those will also be premium items in the future that I will likely need.

BTW, the 2012 and 2013 steering wheels are different because the 2013 has the Sync buttons.

Levittown Ford has the 2012 Steering wheel for $262 - Not sure about the 2013 but I'm sure it's better than Ford $311.

Anybody have the part number for the 2013? I'm going to buy one to keep stored away as well.

The buttons will swap over in a 2012 wheel. What I did was get the cheaper gt500 wheel and run it. I have a brand new boss wheel in a box in storage. Sold the original one for cheap.
