Hi all-
So on my older Mercedes, I used some leather cleaner on it, and noticed that it immediately started pulling the leather dye off. I ended up replacing the steering wheel (it did have 170k worth of wear...)...but I learned my lesson to be cautious.
I have since purchased a newer BMW with a sport wheel and I want to keep it clean. I got some P&S Express Interior cleaner, diluted it 3:1 (water to product, bottle says 1:1 or full strength so I went conservative) and I gently cleaned the wheel. I know the steering wheel isn't that dirty as I cleaned it a month ago, yet the microfiber still came off a little dark.
Should I be worried that each time I clean the wheel the leather is losing a little dye, or is that really dirt coming off?
I'm just scared to death of pulling the dye off like my prior experience...
Any suggestions or pro advice?
