New issue for me.   The GR86 has a leather steering wheel.  I live in Florida with bright sunlight.  

Is there something I should be routinely applying to the steering wheel to extend its lifespan?

Main thing is to keep some oils in it, I suppose. Though I bet it has a coating on it already.

A sun shade would probably be the best option.

I was surprised how quickly my steering wheel abraded and started to lose color and even flake in the areas where I held it. A bit late, but I bought a decent steering wheel cover for it.

How about a nice steering wheel cover and then replace that every few years as needed?
