Alcantara Steering Wheel Premature Wear
Has anyone else had issues with the alcantara on their AMG performance steering wheel going flat after a month or so? Mine got all compacted down and I can't seem to clean it and get it like how it originally was no matter how much I brush the alacantara. Does anyone else have issues like this or have a solution? (Yes my hands are always clean when I drive and I never wear lotion or anything either).

My last alcantara steering wheel stayed clean for about 6 months before it needed cleaning. Not sure why yours looks bad after one.

There is also a YouTube video done by remove before race on how to clean it also.
I don't have that steering-wheel but I have had good luck with sonux on other things

Too many
the good news , is once they look like this, it will stay like this for a long period of time without much change, so if you are afraid that it looks like this after one month, what will happen after few years , don't worry.
but over all i am not a fan of alacantara

The other option, since its only on the sides, is change your grip so its all compressed versus just where you're comfortable.
