Re: IML: steering wheel lustre

["Chris Strohmeyer" <chrisstroh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mine is a nice clear green. I thought there would be something to wipe on 
and not make it slippery.  I might test some Future floor wax and see if it 
makes it too slippery.  I don't want to go to any lengths right now as I 
already have plenty to do.
Thx,
