I have a steering wheel that is drying due to the sun and it's getting
a little dusty from the drying plastic. Can I just coat it with a
clear poly spray or do I need to use some special clear paint?
I had the same problem on my 850. Installed a wheel wrap and problem
solved.
yes, I suggest "wheelskins" or similar. The only "paint" that has a
hope of working is vinyl dye, but everything will wear off of a
steering wheel eventually.

well, as long as when it wears off it ends up no worse than it is now
I'd like to try it. The reason I'm posting is because I'm trying to
avoid the wheelskin option. My car is only a 2004 so I'd like to
preserve the original interior look for at least a couple more years.
I think the next time I get a new company car I will put a steering
wheel cover on it right away. I've already worn through the color of
the steering wheel on my old one, and it hasn't turned 70K yet.

don b. said:My complaint is not so much the exterior but that the rubber separates
from the wire frame and loses that solid feel. I've wondered if epoxy
could be injected with a syringe or the like to re-adhere it...
Best Volvo steering wheel I've felt was my wife old '85 245T. Small, thick
and solid still!

Franky!I have done this experiment.
I have used a syringe and filled it with "super glue" or the well known
cyano acrylate glue. You can easily inject this between the skin and the
metal frame
It worked wonderfull so far. I have done this now some 6 months ago, I
still have a firm grip.
But now the outside coating (grey layer) starts to wear off. I am thinking
of replacing the steering wheel completely by a wooden one....
Volvo has never been great in Plastics...
