Been wanting to do the last step of care for my steering wheel for a few weeks but never could get to the fabric store... Then, I'm walking into my neighbor's house and there one sits, still in the package. I know them well enough to ask to be the first user...
Damn. The wheel looks and feels so close to new it's amazing. I brushed it gently, wiped it down with a damp towel and let it dry. then I shaved it carefully with the sweater shaver... Near perfection. I love the Alcantara again.

Did a quick wash and hit it with a CG synthetic quick detailer. Still looks good from my detail 3 months ago! Very happy with the Blackfire Diamond Sealant

Was going to start my initial detail today, but with baby, everything is 10x harder. So, instead, I got her on jackstands, wheels off and cleaned. After scrubbing for about 4 hours, the wheels are as clean as I can get them, and they still look pretty rough. Someday I'll get them all refurb'd...
Of course, while cleaning the wheels, I noticed about 8 bubbles on the inside of 1 rear tire, and 2-3 on the inside of the other...
That being said, anyone use the Michelin Pilot Sport AS+ tires yet? Thoughts?

You live in florida - get summer tires! Michelin Pilot Super Sports. You'll thank me.

+1 on this suggestion. Continental DWS are also a very good choice. I'd say the best tire for the money. But for a little more money you can get the Super Sports which have even better performance.
There was a thread a little while back comparing the three main tires that family members choose. I don't know what it was called though.
Yeah, since I posted, I started looking some more. I didn't even realize it was an all season tire... WTF, the guys at the store were saying that its the newest Michelin, and its the HOTTEST tire out right now.....?!?!
