steering leather fading

socaldz · 04-29-2009, 04:46 PM

the leather on my steering is fading/peeling looks a bit gray on the inner side. DO you think it will be replaced under warranty?

That is usually caused by hand creams/lotions... Does your wife drive your car? If so, tell her to ease of on the lotion... And no it would not be covered since the damage is caused by you rather than normal wear and tear

Use Leatherique on it. Will return to new.

The dealer can probably re-dye it for you too...

You should always keep a travel sized bottle of Purell in the glove box for times like that. Also a microfiber for drying. Yes I'm that guy.

Do your hands sweat?

Get some leather gloves, it sound cliche but the natural grease in you hands penetrates the leather and causes the fading/peeling.
