Okie i have noticed that the center part of my steering wheel is turning color (fading). I thought it was just mine but browsing through VXCL's pix i noticed his does it too..... Why does it do that, and is there anyway to get it to back to the original dash color? thanx guyz

Locate a distributor of car paint supplies in your area and give them a call. They should have vinyl dye that will match the color your looking for(Or at least something a litter darker). The same problem happened to my aunt's 93 crown vic. We used a squeezable bottle and applicator though to paint the armrest to its original color before she sold it. I can't remember what it was called, but I'm sure we purchased it from an auto paint distibutor. It seemed to apply and match great. By the way--- It doesn't look that bad considering the entire hub has faded.

 

not only has mine faded but it is rubbing off too, so its black in parts instead of gray

 

i know how u feel. my passenger airbag is doing the same thing. Armor all does not do sh*t!

 

Mine is doing the same thing. It is like flaking off and underneath its black. Thought it was only my car

 

Ditto! My steering wheel air bag cover is "flaking" off. I have several black spots on it.

 

Looks like it's you guys with the darker interior that's having more fading. The sun is definately not your friend in this case

 

My car is in perfect condition and its the black interior (charchol for those of you that say there is no black)

 

its no sweat other than some crappy asthetics... its the dye and the vinyl used in the wheel... my beige is perfect except the wearing from spinning the whell alon the outter rim... You have to expect this to happen with time... sun dries ot the material & dye causing cdisoloration or fade...

 

So to keep it not getting worse is to Dont leave it out in the Sun

and if you are put like suncover on the windshield!!!

suns not good for anything on CAR anyhow!!!
