unfortunately suede, while looking good when new and having a nice feel to it, is probably one of the worst materials for a steering wheel - unless you seal it from the start, it will absorb the oils in your skin - this causes irreparable matting and wear - you can try removing the cover and having the suede professionally cleaned, and then reinstall the suede
or you could take it to an upholsterer and have them replace the suede
but i think it would be cheaper to just replace the entire wheel
you can try a suede brush, but it will really just beat up the suede, further accelerating the wear from that point on
you can try something to cut the oil, but it will most likely discolor the suede badly, and remove much of the dye, and in the end you will have a mottled and beat up wheel
should you decide to replace it and go suede again, absolutely treat it with scotchguard before use, and reapply the scotchguard once a month or so
also, wear gloves if you can, though this defeats the purpose of having the feel of the suede in the first place
