    Has anyone found a good cleaner for fingerprints on the steering wheel? Mine is developing a shine of finger oil.

    Try a little rubbing alcohol on a cloth.

    I'm sorry, that's just not an option. :p

    One other thing I wanted to clarify is that I'm talking about the buttons on the steering wheel rather than the wheel itself.

    I know it's sort of a silly question, but I've seen a lot of cleaners that say "don't use on anything but material X" (X being vinyl or leather mostly) and I don't want to use anything that's going to dissolve the paint off the buttons or something like that. :huh:

    I'll probably just keep it simple per Buddy's suggestion.

    I'd recommend a "necker's knob."

    Oh, oops, won't help with the buttons on the steering wheel...but it'd be cool anyway.
