I started to notice small greyish spots that looks like mold on the 2 sides of my steering wheel anyone have similar sighting? Is it wise to wipe clean and if so what to use?

 

i guess I have the same! Thought I would not post it since I felt I might be over thinking it, but damn it looks weird! do you have the dinamica steering wheel? I've got only on side of the wheel which is fading away!

 

Just clean it with slightly soapy wet but not soggy towel. Give it a good rub and let it dry. You'll be amazed.

 

I have had the Alcantara wheel on my CLA 45 for two years now. I use Chemical Guys leather cleaner on the whole wheel, except for the plastic parts. Like others have said give it a good rub and sometimes if I have neglected it for a while I use a soft brush to gently free up the bunched fibers, just make sure the fibers and brush are saturated with the leather cleaner.

I use their Innerclean spray to wipe off the leather cleaner from the plastic parts because it can leave a film.

 

Mine is Edition 1 so not sure if it's dinamica. Started on one side now slowly both.

 

Thanks guys. Will try to clean it.

 

Pictures of what you are referring to? Also, I use Sonax Alcantara Cleaner. Works wonders.

 

Where do I get alcantara cleaner?

 

Never had that happen.

 

I've had my car for about 6 months and it still looks good. Just need to bush off dust every now and then.

 

That is not usual. Is there any make up or lotion on your hands when you drive?

 

No make up no lotion. JP should I be bringing in for MB to assess or try to clean? I do not want to destroy any evidence.

 

And this is mainly at 9 and 3 o'clock?

LOL--I see you still have not removed the plastic from the center command screen

 

[QUOTE=RDOCA;6695168]😂

 

See this kind of crap happens to an overprotective dude like you. Get the damn plastic off already;p

 

JP do think I should try to clean this or bring it to MB please? I do not want to be liable for any wrong doing.

 

You can if you want.

 

Had this occur on the Alcantara parts on my CLA 45. It seems to be the way that Alcantara gets dirty, and I just cleaned it and it was back to normal.

 

Dang you got issues,( nervous sweating hands syndrome) this is
Due to getting too nervous when driving your car.
This happens to me when I go over 100 mph expecting to get a ticket
any time.
Wear gloves for a while and see if this continues to appear.

 

Problem solved! Sonax works like magic! Cleaned in one wipe.
Thank you JP for the recommendation!

 

Please post a pic after u cleaned it off with sonax. Im taking my car in next week, full wash with sonax, they say that thing is the ****tt

 

 

Impressive work! Looks like a brand new wheel!

 

Those white spots and hardened feeling is because of the salt you deposit on the wheel from your hands.

Rinse a microfiber towel in clean slightly warm water and then twist the towel to remove excess water and rubb gently, if its still a bit hard use a fine toothbrush and lightly rub it to get it back to its normal condition.

NEVER use leather conditioner on the wheel.
