So curious what some of you guys are using and recommend? Also when I cleaned my steering wheel, some black coloring from the black steering wheel rubbed off with the leatherique pristine cleaner, is this normal or any suggestions to prevent this from happening again.

Thanks

Leatherique Prestine Clean worked fine on my M3. What happened, exactly, and why do you think it didn't work?

Remember that Prestine Clean is actually a conditioner and you should follow it up with a cleaner afterwards. It sounds backwards, I know. Someone once explained it to me like this: "Prestine Clean gets sucked into the pores of the leather to rehydrate it and forces out the contaminants, which is why you need to use a cleaner afterwards: to remove the contaminants that are now sitting on the surface".
