Buff or polish a black plastic steering wheel?
 
I have a wheel that is in pretty decent shape it has just minor dullness and some light scratches. Any method or product out there to polish of buff these out without having to sand and repaint?

I use this allot on plastic and even clear lenses.

I am sure there are other products that will work too, like Meguire's #9.

Get a stick of Menzerna glosswax 16 polishing compound especially for plastic.

Use it on a loose unstitched cotton or goosedown mop and it gives great results with a high shine, any deeper scratches can be sanded out first with wet & dry used wet , progressively from 400 to 800 to 1200 then buff .

Menzerna is the best polish on the market. Pretty much beats 3M and Megs pro class too. Costly indeed but yields the best results period.

That Menzerna plastic compound is less than $10 from this place and that bar will last a long time .

If anybody wants some I'll be happy to get it and ship it over.

I like the Meguire's Plastix. It works well.
