Before:
During: (one hour with Citristrip, available at Home Depot. Lowes, etc.)
After: (using rags, plastic scraper, 200, 400 and 800 sand paper)
I opted to take the horn and steering column cover off, but leave the wheel itself mounted. Over all, the project was really pretty easy, and only took a couple of hours total.
This winter, I'll probably spend more time polishing more, along with the bezels, and maybe applying a clear coat.
shiny steering wheel, the easy way.

Re: shiny steering wheel, the easy way.
I like these steering wheels. Have the same one. Take good care of that uncracked horn button!

Re: shiny steering wheel, the easy way.
I like it Hootch. In the past I have repainted the black but prefer the shiny look. I have a spare steering wheel (who doesn't) that I might try that on over the winter.
