Hey guys, my alcantara steering wheel has been worn out a little. Instead of having that soft "furry" texture, it now feels smooth and hard.

i read that we should use a softbrush(toothbrush), suede cleaner and all that, but i'd like some first hand experience from someone who's done it.

If anyone could be kind enough to delineate the steps, i'd be eternally grateful


cheers

yeah i dont wanna damage the leather or ill feel like hitting myself whenever i drive the car

i read that your product cleans well, but does it restore the leather back to its original texture(or close)?

I'd also be interested. How well does the product work?
I would rather clean and recondition it rather than having the alcantara part redone.

fwiw, in your search for appropriate cleaning products, alcantara is a man made material, not leather.

i've just been following what the owners manual told me to do. I just use a damp mf towel and wipe it down. Seems to work well. I give it a few pats with a dry towel to make sure not much water stays on the steering wheel.
