Either of those areas aren't even close to the diff lol. Jesus h Christ, I'd be fuming, they would be paying for someone else to fix it and ASAP at that.

Aren't those shops supposed to be bonded that they have their own insurance?

I did some cleaning this weekend....leather cleaning that is. I got a bottle of Chemical Guys leather cleaner from Amazon primarily for cleaning the leather on my steering wheel.
I followed a method someone in the 5series forums mentioned for scrubbing the laces with a toothbrush then the wheel itself with a horsehair brush.....you can see the outcome...the shiny side is before it was cleaned, the nice matte look is after cleaning. Also did my arm rest which had also gotten quite shiny. All the leather looks great now!

Yes, it's amazing how clean a leather wheel can come out if you use the right product. I use Leatherique Pristine Clean with the same results.
The problem though is that once the wheels even get that shiny to begin with, they don't stay clean for long once you clean them. I replaced my old leather wheel because after cleaning, the wheel would end up just as shiny and slimy as before cleaning within a matter of 2 or 3 days. It was too much to keep it up, so I ended up buying a new wheel. That wheel was pretty old though - it was almost original to the car. The PO replaced the alcantara wheel under CPO with this leather one and it was on the car when I bought it at 75k miles. I had just replaced it this past fall, and the car had probably over 220k when I had replaced it. It was in great condition overall, just got too tiresome to clean it so often to keep it matte looking.
Your wheel looks like it's in good enough shape to stay clean for a while though.

So how much do you want for it?

I used Leather Shines Leather Conditioner on my armrest a few weeks ago. I cleaned it off with a bit of soap water, dried and buffed it on. I wasn't sure whether the lessened shininess was good or bad.
