one of these days I'm gonna rip the plastic off of your screen...:p
Steering looks pretty good. once every three month cleaning should keep it nice looking. i like to hold the wheel from various places, but if you only grip from 3, 9, it is probably why happened so quickly.

AMG C63s Edition 1.
Had the same issue with my Edition 1 steering wheel, the white spots started to show less than a month after the delivery.
No sweaty palms nor hand lotion.
Used Sonax alcantara cleaner, improved the condition (look), however a mouldy smell remains and is getting worse.
Trying to make a warranty claim....wish me luck!

Is anyone else experiencing this? I now have concerns about the Alcantara steering wheel becoming worn, discoloured and smelling, overall C class build quality, Burmester sound quality, sound causing mood lighting vibrations and multiple rattles on top of all that! The C63 Ed1 saloon I test drove had a rattle from the center dash area... I thought it was just a fluke at the time.
