66 Standard Steering Wheel Finish
My 66 steering wheel is the standard molded plastic grained wheel. It is in perfect condition but it appears that the outer shiny skin is worn off, and the wheel is always a bit sticky especially in the warm weather no matter what I use to clean it. Is there a good finish to restore this wheel? Like a couple of coats of two part clear urethane paint? I will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks to all.

Re: 66 Standard Steering Wheel Finish
here's a tip I pulled off another classic car web blog. I can't vouch for the results, but have had very good luck with 3M products in the past. Hope this is helpful. Ridge.
re: Gm Steering Wheel StickyI was driving a 76 El Camino with the nastiest stickyboo wheel ever! I tried lots of stuff with poor results and much labor.
Then I got some 3M Adhesive remover (don't remember the number). Had that honey-coated creepy wheel clean and tack free in just an hour or two. Drove the truck for another 2 years and never had to repeat the application even during the summer heat here in Houston.Good carburetion is fuelish hot air . . . -

Re: 66 Standard Steering Wheel Finish
Sticky wheel is commonly associated with the black later wheels. It is not a common problem with midyears. I would clean it with lacquer thinner and coat it with clear urethane.Comment
