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.

 

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!

 

Good luck! This so makes me happy I have a new Edition 1 coupe on its way.

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.

 

Discovering more rattles, squeaks by the day....

 

.... you are joking... right

 

I just bought a pair of thin soft leather motorcycle gloves. Comfy and clean wheel forever
