Hi Roland:
=20
Now that my Healey is on the road again, I have been working on the =
interior of the car which is original and in great condition after =
applying polishing creams to the vinyl and other surfaces. My steering =
wheel is in good condition except where wheel meets the wire. Most of =
the Bakelite?? Or what ever the material is has broken off the wires. I =
purchased a two-component epoxy sculpting clay in black. I have used it =
before to reconstruct, seal openings etc. Once the two components are =
mixed you can mold the clay does not get hard immediately. I believe I =
can fill in the in the voids and sculp the material to almost match the =
original mold. While the material should match the wheel, or I will rub =
in Jet black leather dye to obtain luster. =20
=20
So, what did you use in your restoration? The horn and housing on my =
wheel are in good condition and the Jet-black leather dye improved the =
surfaces so I could polish and buff to a nice luster. My horn and =
trafficator work well and looks great. Am not looking for concours =
perfection.

It depends on your wheel. If it is an un- restored original then you =
could try soap, followed by various solvents carefully applied. If the =
wheel has been restored, that is, cracks repaired, etc.,and then =
painted, it depends on the paint what kind of cleaning it can stand. I =
used black automotive urethane and it holds up well, even to brake =
fluid. If the surface of your wheel has been altered and not just =
coated you will need to sand it smooth carefully. And then possibly =
paint it if it won't polish up.=20

Hi all
In the process of working on my 100/6, I seem to have contaminated the =
steering wheel with either oil or brake fluid from my hands.
It now has a nasty matt finish :-(
Can someone recommend the best way to clean it up?
Many thanks
