Dick, The palm of my left hand has a black spot from the steering wheels that will probably wear off sometime in February. I do know that others who drive the tractors arent as particular about keeping greasy hands off the steering wheel as am I, but I think that after the gloss coat is worn off the wheel, the black rubber or plastic may contribute to blackining your hands. I also end up with inoculant on my hands after filling the planters or drills, and that stuff is about the blackest substance on the planet, which in turn gets transfered to the steering wheel unless I am lucky enough to be able to wash my hands before I jump back into the tractor cab. I"ve tried wearing gloves, but having been a machinist most of my adult life, I am not a glove wearer unless it gets so cold out that my hands would freeze if I didn"t wear them. Keeping the environment clean may reduce the dirt or grease, but not totally. Just expect black hands as one of the small prices we pay for the type of work we do. I have used powdered dish soap on my hands which will clean them up somewhat, but i would not recomend it to someone else as there is probably no chemical in the house as harsh as automatic dishwasher soap. Like I say, by February, your hands should be all nice and clean looking.
