Steering Wheel care?

[bmwstephen]

Hi all,

Have a few Honda CRvs and civics in the family purchased in early 2000 that all seem to experience the same wear issues.

The steering wheel's 11 to 2 oclock position is some sort of soft urethane vinyl that eventually turn porous; turning the material into pencil eraser shavings the more you use it.

The rest of the wheel has some sort of rubber golf ball texture that flattens over time.

For those of you who have experience detailing such a wheel, do you have any cleaning and protection tips?

My truck had a similar issue, I just bought a steering wheel cover and was done with the issue

Bump any advice? It just seems this specific material in the Honda is more sensitive and I do not know what is the best treatment. So far I am doing the woolite clean and 303 for protection
