My car was fitted with an aftermarket steering wheel, not an OMP but that kind of dished style, with the alcantara type fabric they normally have, and within the time I've owned it the fabric has compressed down into almost a solid wheel, completely losing that slightly furry feel.

Is there a way to get this back or are these wheels for gloves only and I need another one?
