(2013 BMW M leather wheel) I live in AZ so sweat on the steering wheel is always an issue. I do a quick MF wipe when I wash (every couple weeks) with CG Total Interior. Every four months or so when I wax, I use the CG Leather Cleaner and conditioner on the wheel, and it has always looked great -- matte finish, smooth to the touch.
I recently noticed some gunk on the wheel as shown in the photo. It's not sticky at all, but looks awful. I cleaned it tonight with the CG Leather Cleaner (using a soft brush and MF wipedown), which did not seems to remove much at all. I repeated the cleaning, again saw little to no improvement. Then I used Sonax Leather Foam Cleaner and Conditioner, and still no improvement. The photo was taken after the three cleanings.
Is it possible that dye has been removed? Honestly, I can't tell if there's something on the surface still to be removed or if dye has eroded. My previous car had the same wheel and did not suffer from this condition
Help! :help: What am I doing wrong, what product should I use, or is the leather just trashed at this point?
