Magic Steering Wheel Sealer???
I know we have discussed the "My hands turn black when I touch the steering wheel" thingie before - My question is has anyone found a surefire way to clean and seal the steering wheel that is new, better, wonderful and works?
I'm driving my 52 fulltime right now and I have to carry a package of wipes if I'm going anywhere that I can't pick my nose
Thanks

My preference would be for single stage urethane, not b/c. With clear coat, scuffs and scratches will show as white flaws and really stand out against a black wheel. Finished in final color, any imperfections will simply blend in with the color. Scratches from normal use by rough man hands, rings, etc., will quickly show up 'loudly' on the clear coat.

Adding a flex agent to the paint mixture may also be beneficial as it'll make the paint more "flexible" to withstand the direct exposure to sunlight, as well as "normal use by rough man hands, rings, etc."

Adding flex additive won't do anything but increase the drying time. A steering wheel won't see any more direct sunlight than the rest of the exterior, and there's been a lot of cars and trucks that have had their paint stand up perfectly well without the additive. Surely in your business you've noticed that rubber bumpers scratch just as well as the hard parts. ;-)
