Question Sticky Steering wheel?!?!

I have a problem with my steering wheel being rather sticky when it gets humid outside. It feels like there is tar or some sort of tacky residue on it when it rains, or is humid.

Does anyone else have this problem??

I have tried many types of cleaners and it doesn't go away.

Maybe I just need a stronger cleaner.....any suggestions??

It's the shitty "leather" that they use on the wheels....most likely sooner or later you're goign to notice wear spots, if you don't have them already, on the top (or wherever you mainly hold on to the wheel) of the wheel...the stickiness is the adhesive that they use to stick the "leather" to the wheel...at least this is how it was explained to me when i had mine re-covered.

I was thinking it was some sort of grime, just hoping there was a cleaner strong enough to get it off.
