I bought a decent looking steering wheel this weekend but it has faded a lot. Is there a product to get it back to shiny new - anybody have any ideas. |

There are various auto motive back to black products,having used them on my bike plastics they work well,though I guess they may contain silicons, which would not be a good idea on your steering wheel:-) |

I don't know ![]() ![]() It is a standard 2CV black plastic steering wheel, actually a Dyane standard steering wheel. |

peanut butter no shit! ( OK i havnt actually tried that one on faded plastic but it comes up on VW and Citren (modern-ish) forums regularly - the Dispatch gets the plastic bits wiped over with WD40 when they start to look a bit faded - its the loss of the plasticizers in the plastic that causess the fading filling it back up with oily stuff restores the black ) |

I saw the Peanut butter trick but then in the small print it said, do not use on your steering wheel. ![]() ![]() |

I've never used this kind of thing but a friend who works for a main dealer has said they use it tons on bumpers might work for steering wheel too! |
