New steering wheel + my sweaty hands

I have genetically sweaty hands. I just got a new steering wheel, and every time I grab it, I can see the oil/sweat I leave on it.

I bought a MF towel just to wipe the steering wheel every day, but I feel it's not picking anything up. What should I spray onto the towel? This wheel is BRAND NEW, and I do not want it all greased up yet... it almost feels like a matte plastic.

I use leatherique prestine clean to clean/condition the wheel. Nice matte look and not greasy at all.

If daily try just a warm damp rag and say once a month or so use a cleaner. My gilr slathers herself in lotion daily and it gets on the wheel of her MBZ, I go to drive it and my hands stick like glue. I wipe it down that way myself.

I've had more success with zaino than I did leatherique. My steering wheel began pitting and loosing dye when I was using leatherique, I don't think I will be using their products ever again.

I recommend all of you guys fingerless drivers gloves :

I use one of those and love it, no sweat marks on my wheel + i have an extra grip in hand when driving my car real hard

I just used a cleaner and it made it a nice matte look, took off all the grease/shine. Im debating on throwing condititoner on the steering wheel though.
