Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My car was very low mileage until last years PEYT in September and I then decided to use the it daily and enjoy it. It's just clocked 18K.
Last year I noticed that the leather colour on steering wheel (3 spoke / Savannah) was beginning to deteriorate where my right hand holds it - at approx the 3 o'clock position. The main dealer didn't want to know because of its age. Now it's getting worse and the other side about 9 o'clock position is going the same way.
It's as if the top layer of leather is coming off - or maybe it's just the connolising. I can't be sure as I am not a leather expert - either cars or the bedroom [
]
I have never had this happen before in any other car I have owned and to be honest it's very disappointing.
If I get it re-connolised I guess that means unpicking the stitching and it will never be the same again.
I don't know what the answer is. Any suggestions??
Isn't that what the adverts refer to as "natural patina"? [
]
I've heard good reports about this stuff:

. Might be worth a try.
It's more than that Richard - the leather appeather to be actually cracking too. I clean & feed it regularly too.
I think its just a very poor quality product.
I must admit, it does sound like this is the case. It sounds like the tanning is coming off the leather. The leather is in a very demanding place on the steering wheel; pulled around it very tightly and taking a lot of wear with salt and sweat added to the equation - but you'd think that it should be able to withstand this...?
It might be worth your while tracking down an "old-school" guy who deals in repairing leather coats and shoes - they might have some ideas.
