Searcher60 209 #1 Posted June 29, 2023 1987 Wheel Horse, anybody found any products to make a faded WH steering wheel look like new? Mine is the black vinyl like steering wheel. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,973 #2 Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) I have had good success on shift knobs using Duplicolor Interior Panel and Carpet black spray dye. Has held up just fine on those for over 3 years. Easy prep, very thin - flows well. Takes about 3 to 4 coats. Does NOT fill imperfections when dry. Best done with the steering wheel removed from the tractor - not absolutely necessary, but easier to do a good job on it...

oliver2-44 10,368 #3 Posted June 29, 2023 I have used this on steering wheels and shifter knobs with good success. https://www.amazon.com/VHT-SP942-Vinyl-Black-Satin/dp/B000CPIN9S If its not to faded/deteriorated I have used this polishing compound with round and cone shaped buffing wheels in a drill. https://www.amazon.com/Swpeet-Polishing-Compounds-Flannelette-Mushroom/dp/B07TXG5QFR/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=12OIKNIZM9L8N&keywords=buffing+wheel+cone+shaped&qid=1688052165&sprefix=buffing+wheel+cone+sshaped%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Drixet-Jewelers-Polishing-Buffing-Compound/dp/B074HTV68F/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=white+rouge&qid=1688052039&sr=8-1 It it has any cracks you can clean the out with a thin cutoff wheel in a dremel. Then i use JB Weld with black spray paint mixed into it (to turn it black) I tape either side of the crack with blue painters tape, then work the epoxy into the crack. After its dry then use a file and sandpaper to work it to shape. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
