I tried leather cleaner and the color from the steering wheel came off on the rag.
I had a spot where the color was worn. I bought a leather dye that was supposed to be a match to the car. It was off slightly. I ended up buying a new steering wheel off ebay and it is in a box. One day when my steering wheel gets really bad I will just do a swap.
