DP Interior Cleaner on BMW Steering Wheel

[prostar]

Hi all,

I own a 99 BMW M3 and I recently wiped down the interior dash, door panels, center console, steering wheel, etc (not leather parts) with DP Interior Cleaner and Protectant. I noticed a day later that the "rubbery" area of the steering (the center portion) became very dull looking. It also looks weird when I run my finger across it because it makes the dullness go away and almost looks shiny.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Does anyone have a solution to make this shiny again?

Pictures coming tomorrow, but any input for the time being would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

It sounds like left over product is leaving a slight haze. Try wiping it down with a clean cloth and see if it eliminates the problem...

There are products out there that leave a nice shine if that's what your looking for...

Could it be that perhaps the shininess on the steering wheel was built up grime?

Just a thought...similar to leather seats. They become shiny due to all the grime, oils, etc that are left on the seat or in this case the steering wheel.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll get in there and wipe off what I can and see what happens.

Seajay, I was kinda thinking the same thing..The surface reacts with the oils on my hand and produces an artificial and temporary shine. I don't need to be shiny..I just don't want it looking so dead and dull.
