Thanx Bill, I don't use anything on my hands or any lotion. It's probably sweat. The oxy clean did not work so will get the lexol.

Most auto parts stores, like Advance Auto Parts, will carry Lexol products. I believe you can find it at WalMart as well.
The stickiness you're encountering is probably related to the natural oils from your hands getting on the cover, simply due to use. That combined with other things such as hand lotion, sun tan lotion, etc. along with the humid FL weather and dust and dirt in the air will make for a nasty combination. You'll need to clean/treat your steering wheel cover periodically to keep it from getting sticky/tacky again.
