Faded center of the steering wheel fix

2005 honda civic LX here.-Through experience does anyone know of a process that will improve the faded center(horn section) of the steering wheel. Moderately priced please?

Re: Faded center of the steering wheel fix

not a customization of a car, rather a problem with a stock part
3rd one since yesterday, please don't be in denial that you have a problem, and post on the mechanical issues section

I don't think I've ever seen the horn pad area of a steering wheel be faded in one of these Civics. Pictures?

Re: Faded center of the steering wheel fix

From your photo it appears that the steering wheel itself is more faded.... Have you tried using Interior Surface Detailer on your interior plastics/rubbers to bring back the shine?

Yes a spray cleaner- polish. Works good but need something different for extreme areas. I'll use a steering wheel cover for the steering wheel.
