How do you clean yours?
ColinDuff68 wroteI don't think its possible to clean it back to the matt finish, you have literally polished the leather smooth with your hands. although it usually takes a good while before this happensMy wheel after 15 months has started to go shiny
How do you clean yours?
Neither of my last two cars (Bmw's) one 3 years old and one 4 suffered from this, I wonder if you have rough hands ? (no insult intended, sorry madam :-) )
I would maybe contact a car detailing specialist they know all the tricks.
Use a damp microfiber cloth, moistened with water. No cleaning products, just water.
Rub gently, over and over and over again. Turn the cloth over the rub some more.
It will return to nearly new. If the steering wheel is very dirty it might take several sessions with the damp microfiber.
I maintain both of my recent model German SUVs this way, and restored a 14 year old Toyota steering wheel using this method. It works.
This can be used on any high touch surface. The root cause is oil and dirt on the hands. Useful for turn signal stalks, wiper stalks, start button bezel, gear selector, door trim panels, the list goes on and on.

Then wipe off with dry microfibre.
Does the trick and gets rid of the shine which is left by skin oil, mositurisers, KFC...
