alcantera steering wheel wear?

Anyone have accelerated wear on their alcantera inserts on the steering wheel. Mine is almost polished looking without fuzz. Tried a mr clean eraser block. No improvement.

Use this http://www.amazon.com/Sonax-206141-U.../dp/B00BBWJ16U and this http://www.amazon.com/Shacke-Suede-N...bxgy_263_img_y. I started using it each month and it is amazing. Your wheel will stay tacky/a bit rough for 1-3 days but once it settles down...omg it feels/looks like brand new. Highly recommend.

My alcantara cleaned up nice with a damp microfiber though some of the real matted areas needed more pressure and got a lil fuzzy

My real problem is trying to figure out how to restore the leather at the top of the wheel, mines all dry and cracked

I actually have the sonax cleaner so will give it a try followed by damp rag.

just warm water and clean micro fiber.. grip gently and turn, do it a few times then let sit dry for couple hrs before driving it. mine was pretty bad from previous owner and it came out to be almost as new.


don't do it hard tho ...it will ruin it
