Steering Wheel - rough veneer

Postby David160 » Mon Jul 04, 2016 10:30 am

I have just purchased 2003 XK8. The veneer on the top of the steering wheel is rather rough. Can this be smoothed with fine sandpaper and revarnished?

Hello David,
The finish on the veneers is not varnish, but (I think) Rustin's Plastic Coating. It works very well in restoring other panels in the car and be bought in small packs.

I'm not sure if it can be used on the steering wheel however, so might be best to wait for feedback from others.
