Default Grimy steering wheel and center armrest stain removed

My Boxster 25 was delivered to me with a grimy shiny steering wheel and a large stain in the center armrest. You guys gave me advice on how to clean it which I appreciate very much. I ended up uisng the Colourlock mild cleaner (kit from Amazon). I cleaned both the wheel and the center armrest with the soft brush bought separately from them. After cleaning with the foam cleaner, I wiped of the surfaces with a damp micro fiber cloth followed by a dry one. In just a few minutes, I was able to restore the matte finish of the steering wheel and also managed to remove the stain from the center armrest. Porsche cleaner was useless. This colourlock cleaner is very effective with no dye removal. Will clean the rest of the leather later.

Just got back to NH from FL and I had a Porsche car cover on the car. The windsheild has some dust or some fibers from the cover. Have to drive the car now but still too damn cold in NH today.

Center armrest after cleaning. No stain anymore.

Can anyone recommend something similar for racetek/suede interior fabric?

I have to wear a ton of sunblock when I’m at the race track and I actually made a huge mess of the interior on my 997 with sunscreen stains lol. It was on the door, seat and arm rest.

Trying not to do that with my GT4.
