[W126 Coupe] Off Topic - 2006 S500 4matic

[Joseph Schumann]

Hi Elm:

Go to a quality car upholsterer, one that does Benz, Bentley, etc. and have them redye or respray the steering wheel. Comes out like new. The dye is just worn off from use. They can color match the shade exactly.

Regards,

Joe

It's been a while since I've last posted (family, career and 3 kids in college tend to put a damper on 'toy time') but I know you guys can help me out on this.

I just bought my wife a 2006 S500 4matic and the previous owner was female and as such I need some advice on how to clean make-up stains off the sun visors? 
What cleaners can I use on the visors and headliner that won't stain the light gray material?

Also, the ash leather steering wheel needs reconditioning. I can't tell if the gray is worn off or if there is just a layer of make-up and skin oils built up on the wheel (it has the heated wheel option). What can I use to clean it first to determine if it's just gunk or worn off?
What would be the best product(s) to use to recondition the leather wheel if in fact the gray is worn off?

I'm jealous of those of you going to Longboat in a couple of weeks- The wife and I still talk about the wonderful time we had and the great people,  food, drink and atmosphere at the Mar Vista! We hope to be able to join you guys again in the future.

Thank you again for your time and advice!
