'wheel discolouration

[norseman]

Hi folks

Driving our car & facing bright sunlight yesterday I noticed that the top segment of the black leather covered steering wheel had several areas of grey discolouration.
Whether this is simply a build up of natural grease from the hands of drivers over the past 23yrs. & 154K miles or wear to the leather I don't know, but should it be the former can anyone suggest a cleaning product that would remove any grease without damaging the leather ?

Thanks for reading.

I've roughed up faded steering wheels and redone them with shoe leather dye in the past.

Put vaseline on a cloth and spread it on the steering wheel.
Leave it for 10 minutes then clean up with a clean cloth.
See if the results are to your taste.
I do all of my leather interiors every 6 months like this and they still look new after 13 years.
Of course I clean the leather first with leather wipes.

Thank you both for the replies, I'll experiment a little.
