Steering wheel wear

I've had mine since 09 with 36k miles now, and it looks just as good as the day I bought it.

I have a question which I was going to start a new post for but this is somewhat related. I find that my steering wheel on my '09 with 14k miles is quite slippery. It doesn't look worn at all but I find my hands slipping on it especially during turns when shifting. Anyone else have this problem and do you know of a product that can be applied to the wheel to improve grip?

Has anyone brutally beaten theirs yet?
Anyone cut or scratch from keys or pant rivets?

No

Use leather cleaner and treatment,,,persperation and oil from your hands is a killer on leather if not treated periodically!!
