Must be in the way you're "rubbing that conditioner in".

Seriously (didn't think I could do that, did you?), the times I've scraped my wheel have usually been around the same area., repeating the same action. It may be a re-scrape. i know it the moment I do it, usually followed by a colorful word or two. I don't wear rings, my watch band is teh smoov, and I fit into the seat without contacting the wheel like a FF.

I've noticed that mine usually blend back in for the most part after a while. And I keep my nails trimmed better - it's the Metro Way.

I don't wear rings, carry knives and it wasn't there when car was delivered, started about a yr later, hasn't gotten any worse in last 2 yrs and I haven't used any leather conditioner either.
