New steering wheels are called multi-function steering wheels. They have cruise control, sound system, phone answering, and other commonly used controls at the driver's fingertips. They are driver-friendly and safer. These controls are unprotected from the sun UV rays with your standard steering wheel cover.

Also, unprotected from the sun, are the left turn signal lever and the windshield wiper lever on the right side of the steering wheel. The turn signal lever controls the turn signals, headlights, and high beams. The right windshield wiper lever controls the windshield washer and wipers. These two levers can get just as hot as the steering wheel.

The Ultimate Steering Wheel Cover, not only reduces the temperature of the steering wheel rim, but it also covers the entire front of the steering wheel as well as the two levers.

We have selected Sunbrella Awning & Marine as our fabric for The Ultimate Steering Wheel Cover. Sunbrella fabric is considered the standard in the boating industry because of its high resistance to fading, color options, and long life span. Sunbrella is breathable, acrylic that is UV, water and mildew resistant. Sunbrella does not noticeably shrink or stretch.

We have selected Sunguard Thread to sew The Ultimate Steering Wheel Cover pieces. Sunguard is twisted and bonded through a state-in-the-art bonding and dying process, to ensure the highest quality of colorfastness and performance. This thread is UV, mildew, chlorine, and bromine resistant.

The Sunbrella fabric and Sunguard Thread were chosen to make a long-lasting cover. The three photos show how the steering wheel will be protected. The steering wheel rim, internal controls, left lever, and right lever, are protected from the sun UV rays. We currently sell The Ultimate Steering Wheel Cover in Cadet Gray and Charcoal.
