I got it on my hands and from my hands onto a car leather steering wheel. Nothing worked, including acetone, "lift off" and krud kutter ultra remover only removed it from my hands, but not the wheel. Goo off seemed to work, as it took off layers of the steering wheel material, but even after applying it a few times, the wheel is still sticky. Is there anything that will actually take it off?

What's 'Great Stuff' foam?

I know it sounds too simple, but try warm water and a really good microfiber cloth.

You don't wanna know lol It's a construction adhesive foam kinda like super super superglue. Water and cloth don't do anything. I tried much more powerful stuff than cloth and water and still nothing.

Great stuff is insulation.

It is essentially impossible to remove form somethng like that. You can let it harden and sometimes pick it off.

Buy a nice steerig wheel cover. They are not that expensive.

It won't solve the problem though.

Replace the steering wheel or get it re-covered


I'd be interested in seeing what it looks like, do you have a picture?

It's obvious that some people here have no experience with Great Stuff! I hate working with it.

It doesn't look like anything unusual. You can't see it. When you grip it, that's when you notice it. It's just sticky all around.

I am amazed at how strong and concentrated it is. I've had this wheel problem for months now. I thought I didn't even have any on my hands at first, thought I cleaned it all off, but apparently I didn't. It doesn't even come off the skin that easy, takes days without the chemicals, till you lose that skin basically.
