W124 steering wheel deteriorating

Ok my 87 300d has the newer style w124 wheel in it like from a 90's w124. The bottom of the wheel is perfect and still has what I would call a shiny finish over it. The top of the wheel however is gettin tiny little cracks in it, lacks this "shiny finish" and when its damp out (last 4days), little bits of black come off on my hands, almost like eraser shavings... and it feels damp, however the bottom of the wheel never feels like this.
Is there anything out there that I can treat/finsih the wheel with to fix this issue? I really hate steering wheel covers, and I dont want to have to replace it.
Any thoughts and Ideas are much appreciated!
Thanks,
Zach
