Alcantara steering wheel thoughts

Im really not liking the Alcantara steering wheel , I think it looks good and it was one of the options I wanted but it gets so filthy it's crazy, The first time I cleaned it with warm water white soft towel and Sonax alcantara cleaner the towel looked like I just wiped down a dirty transmission,0 I couldn't believe the amount of dirt, my hands are always clean in the car too, go ahead clean your alcantara steering wheel I dare you lol,

I would like to get an all leather wheel like the non s e63 but with a white center stipe I know they have the carbon fiber ones but not sure about that I like the leather , does anyone know of a company that makes the all leather wheels ?

I hear ya, I just cleaned mine with sonax this week. Lots of dirt but it looks like new again! Sonax is the bomb. I love the look when it is clean. I think all leather would be better overall but it looks more "exclusive?" with the Alcantara.
