My steering wheel is in great condition just really shiny, slides right through my dry hands! Has anyone else had this issue? any advice on his would be handy(pardon the pun) as I'm not quite ready for driving gloves yet

Send it to Jack at Royals and have it doctored. One of the best mods you can do.

That's exchange.

Tried cleaning it with sugar soap then jif and it has improved it 50%, thought there might be some old school way of bringing it up like new with an obscure product found under the kitchen sink!
I can recomend Royals.
Feels like a completely different car with a Royal's wheel. It is probably one of the best, if not the best and most satisfying mod I did on my zed.
I just did the Wife's last week. 150 + 100 deposit for the return of your wheel. Once you send your wheel to him you get the 100 back.
I also got the gators for the gear stick and handbrake done in matching alcantera for a further 35 each.

fit one of these like I did
£17.30
I got me a kit, off tinternet
Before:
and after a bit of positioning and 3 hours sewing with M- coloured threads (everything is in the kit)
1/2 hour of that was trying to untangle the knots I put in the thread before the stitching..
then a satin spray job to the buttons, it now looks like this:
the Z4 specific kit is here:

Ok its artificial leather but it sure looks and feels real, and was worth it for a punt
They do a real leather one for £38 which I will fit next, if and when this one wears out.

I admire you for having the inclination to do that Pete, and, It looks very nice. Me, I haven't the patience for something as intricate as that but hopefully others might fancy having a go.

to be honest it was very easy, just time consuming with a lot of easy peasy sewing just following the same pattern all the way round. Would be even easier if I had chosen the single colour thread.
Just sat on the sofa watching TV whilst doing it..
