That plated leather product is complete trash, not even good for lining trash cans.
Seems like you used the word “genuine” as in real, no worry..
And by what you claimed, it sounds like you used top grain. Just keep it supple and dont use any alcoholic product to clean it and treat it twice a year to keep it new.
Im very oldschool in this regard and install top or full grain leather on steering wheels of cars i buy (no matter if they are luxury brands) - i prefer to feel the richness of good grippy leather in my hands when driving. It changes the feel of the car quite a lot.
