Steering wheel restoration

It's black plastic the whole way through.. no paint. You can scuff out the scratches and polish the surface back up to a high gloss just like you would a painted surface...using the same basic products you'd use on paint... It just takes patience and time.

That's interesting. I recently picked up an original GM wheel that is black and in good shape aside from some minor scuffing and some flecks of white paint on it. When I tried to remove some of the white paint with some lacquer thinner it seemed to be softening the black surface below it like it was paint.
