Steering wheel falling apart in bare hands

I have recently noticed my steering wheel breaking into peices in my hands. Not really big chunks but big enough to bother me while driving. I just put on a steering wheel cover but I was wondering what you people think caused this to happen

the heat will usually make it "wear out".......also if u grip the wheel hard at times....the friction between your hand and wheel will eat at the wheel...do u use any type of cleaning agents to clean it? it might be corroding it.

All I got to clean it is my own greasy palms. Oh well I guess I will get a new steering wheel later on. Muhahahaha!

Yeah I noticed this too, i usually get it after holding the wheel for a long time and then making a turn it seems like you almost get a friction burn from it, is that what your talking aboot? That's when a piece comes off of mine, but also, the stock rubber one is kind of CRAP

ya.....to top of my wheel is falling apart.......i hate touching it, it feels nasty but i have got around to buying a steering wheel cover

Yeah Playa123 can burn at times like when I grip hard or do a tight turn and my hand slips a little. The rubber they use must be some cheap composite crap and its too skinnin for my hand. Sometimes I feel like Im driving with a round straw. From the first time I put on my cover it felt like honey in my hand. I didnt expect much out of it since I got it from wal-mart for 9 bucks.
Its well worth it AjRaCeR805. Spare the 10 bucks and get back to drivin with out steering wheel crumbs.
