I admit when race gets intense, palms sweats alot; but I've never bother to clean the water absorbing alcantara rim. With busy work, I have left sim racing for a month, and this morning I find .....

LoL Just for laughs!

And option 3 would be a HazMat suit while racing

Can you cut the Alcantara off?

This has made my mind up, I WILL be getting gloves for use with my CSW.

This way after a long session of racing they can be thrown in the wash.

See, I didn't start the glove topic for nothing. I was getting worried about the above happening with the CSW I have standing here beside me at the moment.

With gloves the rim stays in great condition for much longer.

Gloves 👍

Shogy is my dad, Schwartz. Not a spammer. He got the link to that stuff from the website of company Alcantara (yes, the company is named after its product. )

Just keep it in humid environment for another couple of weeks, maybe you'll find a new species of mushrooms...

In his defense he did look like a spam bot. First post with a link to a company's website and all...

Welcome LogiForce's dad. 👍

That sucks, OP. How did it look after cleaning it thoroughly? Doesn't look like the fungi have made that much damage yet.

You have too much humidity in your home. That looks like mold my friend, and the best way to clean it is with diluted bleach and then some sunlight.

Also you may want to have the place checked for mold too, it's not good for you or family.

Ya, looks like mold to me as well.

If you can see it it has already spread to others areas.

I have Fanatec GT2 wheel since early 2011 but I have never had that problem and I have never bothered washing my hands before I used my wheel.
