Had mine washed this morning, first since getting it, only for it to start persisting down on collection :cry:

Short journey today and it's rather chilly so used the steering wheel heating for the first time. Lovely combo with the heated seat!

The heated steering wheel really is something I couldn't be without and everyone I know says the same thing, it really is a treat.
