When I bought the car it was about 10 months old and had 1,500 miles and wheel was already looking a little used, few months later looked even worse so replaced with my leather/carbon fiber oneBlu, how many miles do you have on yours?
I'm pretty sure that Lamborghini only uses Alcantera. I had an aftermarket suede one and it lasted 1000 miles, it was very different from my Alcantera.Is the wheel on the Performante Alcantara or suede? Mine had 8500 miles on it and looked great. I will say that the one on my 04 gallardo did not look great.
Even if mine was leather I would still always wash my hands before I drive. I also use my gloves but sparingly. In fact only when I don't think I will be seen, lol.Ok I thought so. The wheel on my Perf after 8k miles was just fine. I don't get in my car with dirty hands so it seemed to age well.
I remembered when I had suede shoes, if we didn't treat them with a spray they would look like crap quickly.Very cool video and thanks for sharing! As I’m sure everyone knows my SL‘s interior is all alcantara and carbon fiber. Thank god the alcantara in my SL is in perfect shape but it’s nice to know a good way to deep clean it. Ive only used a damp microfiber towel for a simple wipe down or sonax on the steering wheel but now I want to buy that wet vac he had!
I know I thought the same thing, but they do feel really good and give you a great sense of grip. However at the risk of looking like a pansy I wear them very selectively.Ha! I do not think I could ever wear gloves out on a drive.
The latest in Covid masks!Taking the sound advice on this forum and getting ready for my first drive with gloves on. Yes, that is a real pic of me and don't worry I won't forget to cut the eyeholes out.
