Yes, I use them on my OEM steering wheel about every 3-4 months. Oil from my hands builds up on the steering wheel and makes it shiny and slippery. I have an AT so I don't use them on the shift knob that much. I saturate one of the erasers in water, then thoroughly ringe it out by hand before I use it. Any water left on the wheel after I use it I dry off with a paper towel. I have never used any soap or chemicals on the wheel. It's still it great shape after 10+ years.

I used one of the, still $1., Dollar Tree generic erasers on the wheel today. Here's before and after pics.

Take a pic of your steering wheel and post it so we can see what shape it's in and if possibly one of these erasers will work.
