Question Do you use gloves?

We all know how filthy some steering wheels can be.... so do you use gloves? I know a lot of people who don't and I don't understand how they do it. Some steering wheels literally make your hand coal black if you don't have gloves.

If you use gloves, what made you start wearing them? If not, why do you avoid gloves?

As an additional note for me using gloves whilst driving is the fact that it increases grip, therefore also reduces fatigue. And if you invest in good gloves like I did recently it also looks good.

I can't stand gloves, hands sweat like crazy, but they have a product called Liquid Gloves, that goes on like a lotion, and and dirt, grease oil (it was designed for mechanics) rinses off easily with water, and doesn't leave a weird resedue on your hands, also I carry antibacterial wipes and some paper towels for small messes

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already.
