Steering Wheel Restoration - Cracked Steering Wheel Repair

This steering wheel from the 1960's had developed a lot of cracks that left large gaps in the plastic. These cracked steering wheels are very common in cars from the 1950's and 1960's. The plastic that was used to make these steering wheels is a very rigid plastic. Thankfully, Polyvance's PlastiFix kit works great on the rigid plastics that were used to make these steering wheels. This video shows you how to use Polyvance's PlastiFix repair kit to restore cracked classic steering wheels.
