Steering Wheel Leather Deterioration?

[Benvolio]

I recently purchased my used 2024 Mustang GT Premium 20k miles and noticed that the steering wheel has ridges (almost cracks?) in a few different spots. Has anyone seen this on their S650? None of my S550s had this issue. The car has been in New England since it was purchased by the original owner, so extreme heat/UV isn’t a factor.

The rest of the leather in the car is in good condition and I’ve since conditioned everything with Lexol to prevent further wear.

Nope, no issues every with any kind of steering wheel. There's one outside with 25 years on it, still in good shape. Must have been owned by a gorilla??

Previous owner driving with jewellery / rings on...maybe. Any ring scratches under door handles..

There are minor scratches on the door handle but nothing too crazy, very surface level so I’m not sure. I was wondering if this could be caused by constant use of the heated steering wheel since this car was driven in the winter of 24/25.

Would explain the swirls in the paint, gorillas must not be good at detailing
