I'm loving my new Podium Steering wheel Porsche GT3 Suede finish but there is one thing that is annoying me a lot. My hands are getting greasy and blacked by the suede after long stints... Is anybody experiencing this?

That's the nature of suede.
Always good to wear gloves to protect the Alcantara and/or Suede wheels.
No gloves on suede, oil sweat and dirt from your hands are creating a bacterial feast on your steering wheel ..
A suede steering wheel becomes very nasty and worn quickly if you don't wear gloves
That's why I bought smooth leather
That's an idea! We need leather grips for the V1's and V2's Formula. I know you can contact Fanatec for new grips, but still suede. Would love leather or something else much.
Suede looks cool in the beginning, but will get nasty quickly.
I always wear gloves with my formula V2 rim and it looks as new as the day I got it.
I’ve worn gloves 100% of the time with my podium wheel I received in March. Alll of the suede has worn off on the primary grip points.
havent reached out to fanatec yet about it - but kinda sucks :/
Same thing is happening to me with the same wheel :( I didn't want to wear gloves, but I didn't think about this when I ordered the wheel... Well dang....
