Debris?

Yes a few pieces of stuck debris

Nobody has any tips on this?

I also would like to upgrade to a better steering wheel with wood trim if possible, if anyone knows of any direct replacements

There is a process in the shop manual for lightly polishing the wood on a steering wheel to remove scratches. Can you describe the 'stuck debris' please? I am not sure I understand what is wrong with your current steering wheel.

The best way to get a wood wheel is to research to see if there was a wood trimmed steering wheel available for your year and model, then grab one on ebay or from a recycle (junk) yard and swap to that. Normally this involves pulling the fuse(s) for the air bag and a steering wheel puller tool, which in some cases you can check out from a local auto parts shop.

Ok the debris looks kind of like a drink may have splashed in a few spots on the wood, and I would like to know what years were compatible with the 96 that did get the wheel with the trim. My wheel is kind of worn and discolored

I just polished the zebrano trim on my 2003 STS using Meguires Scratch X.

I'm pleased with the results, and I like the protective coating which doesn't leave any greasy film or residue.
