INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFINISHING STEERING WHEELS

For those of you

Those who think that these steering wheels have a high-gloss finish like a bowling ball are unfortunately wrong.

It looks like Ford used a very coarse file for deburring.

To keep costs as low as possible, here are some helpful tips for a fine finish on your steering wheel.

1. Use an exacto knife or a utility knife to first remove the excess burr from the

Parting line. (where the mold halves come together). and not to cut too deeply into the steering wheel.

2. Take a fine file and file the mold line until it blends with the wheel.

3. Now the work begins! Take some 600 grit sandpaper (wet) and

and wet sand the areas you just filed. Wet sand these areas until the

Form line disappears. Allow the grinding wheel to harden and dry.

4. Now the areas you wet sanded will look a little duller

than the rest of the steering wheel. Rub these dull areas by hand with a fine brush

buffing compound. The more you polish, the better your end result will be.
