Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on these? The car i'm looking at has this option fitted so just wondering if anyone has one, is it a desirable option, and what do they wear like over time. Oh and whats the best way of cleaning this suedecloth stuff?

Cheers guys

You mean Alcantara. They look good new but after a while they are disgusting. Cleaning tips :cry:

I love mine. Feels good in the hand and gives decent grip (and does not burn the begeezus out of your hand on a hot summer day). You need to be a bit more diligent in cleaning, but to be honest, if you keep it a regular thing... it only takes a few minutes to keep it looking great.

Nope, it's not a desirable option Irrespective of cleaning regimen, it will gum up.
Heated steering wheel however is a great option.

You can buy on "aliexpress" a kind of 'wrap-around" steering wheel cover with a lace on the inside.

There are several types of material and colours.. Don't be surprised if its catskin for example... :shock:

But you just replace them when they get dirty..

You need to measure the exact diameter of the wheel..
