RE: Wooden Steering Wheel

["jortak" <jortak@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fred,

I have rebuilt 2 wooden steering wheels and found that a clear laquer finish
was the best.  I have a daily driver and my finish is still holding up very
well still after a year.  I used just an inexpensive spray can available
from WalMart.  Good luck.

Subject: ? about wooden steering wheels

Need advise on cleaning and polishing of an Alfa "Personal" wooden three
spoke steering wheel. Just bought one from a friend. It is actually in
good shape. No dings or pits in the wood. Was a bit grungy, but that
cleand up well. The wood finish is really flat! I don't want to use a
wood polish because it will be slick! Any suggestions?
Also, does anyone have a recomendation for someone that refinishes them?

Thx ,
Fred Zimmermann
