Formaldehyde is an organic solvent. First use another organic solvent to remove the residue - it may damage the steering wheel plastic so test it first on the back away from where you normally rest your hands. Use a white spirit on a rag or paper towel and then clean this off with alcohol wipes or some metholated spirits also on a rag or paper towel before finally cleaning with lots of water to remove all other solvents.

Put chemical resistant gloves on and where eye protection when cleaning as you will have traces of chemical on the rags that could be transferred into your skin.

Formaldehyde is soluble in water but I'm not sure about this lead compound. If you can't get it to look visibly clean - replace the steering wheel.

How do you replace the flasher on a 1999 Chevy Malibu?

Had the same problem... First take off the steering columb covers( top and bottom). There are 3 screws holding in the bottom steering columb cover. After removing the steering columb cover, you will be able to remove the signal switch and the wiper blade switch very easily. The signal switch and the wiper blade switch is one pieces. When you have removed the steering columb cover, you will seea screw on the top middle of the steering columb.Remove this and unplug the other switches(3) that are attached to the signal switch and the wiper blade switch. That is about it, but be care when you install the new piece...it needs to be lined up for the horn to work or else evrytime you turn the steering wheel your horn will blow.
