I'm going to get the M Performance wheel with LED installed - so that's been a concern for me. I just wanted an OEM way of monitoring the oil and water temp and that seemed to fit.
Good to know it can be restored.
I did watch a few YouTube videos showing some guys using what looked like a toothbrush or similar tools to restore the Alcantara but the end results - while better than at the start - never looked pristine.
I was getting worried that I needed gloves to use it every day.
