Does anyone else have this problem of getting this kind of white build up on there steering wheel? I know this sounds gross 
but I don't know what it is, it's like a whitish fog, and it keeps coming back, I have used many cleaning items to clean it and it won't go away. I ment to take a picture w/my cell today but forgot to. It happens kind of near the BMW sign on the wheel. HELP

Perhaps one of the cleaning agents damaged the finish? Have you put a protectant on it?

I had the same problem with my wheel, i had them replace it under warrenty i was previously useing the amorall wipes and i kinda think that any type of protectorant may eventually give you this effect. so now i only use a damp cloth to wipe my wheel.
