Why do you need a steering wheel cover?
With an enormous selection of car accessories available online, auto-lovers are practically swimming in choice. From bonnet protectors to novelty window shades, a driver's options for personalisation are endless.
Of particular use are accessories that are fun, yet functional. Both stylish and protective, steering wheel covers are the perfect example of this.
A worn-down wheel has a reduced grip, which is dangerous as it diminishes control, one sudden pothole and your hands may slip off the wheel.
Safety
The steering wheel is not often people's first consideration when it comes to vehicle safety, but it's still extremely important. A worn-down wheel has reduced grip, which is dangerous as it diminishes control, one sudden pothole and your hands may slip.
This is why leather steering covers are so popular. As well as providing a suave aesthetic, their texture means they're much easier to keep a hold of. In addition, covers are extremely beneficial during winter, as frosty hands can also reduce grip and control.
Style and preservation
With our signature Australian summer on its way, the blaring sun can potentially result in cracked and damaged steering wheels. Covers are important for maintaining your car's interior, as well as retaining its resale value.
Furthermore, the right accessories play a huge part in the overall style and feel of your car. For example, leather oozes class and sophistication while suede is great for luxury. You can even express support for your favourite sports team, with Motoquipe offering licenced wheel covers from the Brisbane Broncos, Canberra Raiders, Cronulla Sharks and more. For the ultimate in a stylish, well-cared for interior, find seat covers and floor mats that complement your wheel's new look.
Comfort
The comfort a wheel cover provides is immeasurable, particularly in summer. If your car has spent a long day in the sun, coming back to a blisteringly hot steering wheel is not ideal. With a suede or other fabric cover, you can put your hands on the wheel straight away.
