G21 steering wheel wear

Hi all,

I’m only 2 months in to owning my G21 M340i and these patches have appeared at the top of the wheel. I’m rigorous about cleaning and I’ve never knowingly got something on my hands that would damage the leather. It seems as if it’s actually discoloured the leather.

I’ve tried cleaning it with a few different car leather cleaners that I have to no avail. The only thing that makes it look better is leather conditioner but it won’t go away.

Has anyone else seen this? I never had this with my F30 in all 3 years of ownership - the wheel seems very poor quality :-(



Cheers

Not on the steering wheel, but... My daughter sat in the car once and sat with her hands underneath her legs - only for about 10 minutes - but I now have a noticeable (to me) set of hand prints on the passenger seat.

I've tried all sorts to buff out her sweaty palm prints.

She blames it on the hand cream. Do you wear hand cream when driving Alex ;-)

Maybe someone here may have a more sensible answer...

Does you ever use hand sanitizer andy then touch the wheel?
