I read somewhere that the Japanese "leather" literally has a painted surface, it will peel off exactly like that eventually. I'm not sure if leather care products have any affect, but I use them anyway.

I really want to reupholster my wheel in proper high quality leather, but It will take a while as a lot of it is hand sown and I can't be without a wheel as it's my DD. Been keeping my eye out for the skeleton of a stock wheel, but haven't seen one for a decent price yet.

I reupholstered the gear knob on my last car, it looked great, better than the stock "leather".
