Had the same problem on my C70...well, at least on the top-half of the steering wheel. I noticed that after a day out in the sun, the leather feels a little mushy and then when you rub on it, it comes off.

As for as the bottom-half of the steering wheel goes, I had some dirty marks...so I decided to use Lexol Leather cleaner on it. After a couple swips of the Lexol and a dry cloth, the leather just came off. That was kinda wierd. It got to the point where I was seeing black underneath.

If you car is still under warranty, I would take it in and tell the dealer about it. Hopefully, if they are nice enough (as was mine in a rare instance), they will do a procedure call "re-dye." After the re-dye, the wheel should look brand new.
