Re: IML: steering wheel lustre

["Greg and Russell" <65luxuryliner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

Have you considered wet sanding the wheel with 400 grit sandpaper to smooth 
out any imperfections and possible surface crazing,  then, coating it with a 
catalyzed clearcoat?  The latter would not only make it look absolutely new, 
but the wheel would have UV protectants on/in it to keep it from 
deteriorating in the future.

I didn't have this option with my '65 steering wheel.  It was too far gone 
and after an almost 3 year search, I chose to have a new one recast.  The 
procedure outlined above was suggested to a friend who has a very nice wheel 
on his '67 but it needed something to give it a little more pizzaz.

Good luck!
