[TR] wood steering wheel refurbishment

[rjray.architect at gmail.com]

After cleaning and lightly sanding my original Derrington steering wheel, I used several coats of Minwax Spar Urethane.

It has held up very well after 20 years.

I installed a Motolita steering wheel about 35 years ago and it is looking pretty sad these days.

 

When the rainy season hits I would like to remove the steering wheel and clean it up a bit. Polish the spokes and put something over the wood to restore its look while protecting the wood. I don't want to put on something that will feel thick or remain sticky for weeks. Any suggestions on what to use?
