Shellac might be worth a try . You can buy the flakes at mitre 10 , you mix them with metho . I know that guitar restorers use it to give a great finish , it may be too shiny on your CMP steering wheel Mike

$600 holy smokes!!
Look around for a better one and polish it up.
Acetone is good for smoothing over cracks and dings.
You can even use it to melt down a piece of plastic off a stuffed wheel to fill large cracks.
Practice on a old one.
Cheers
Jeff
