Steering Wheel Ring
Does anyone know how to replace ring or refurbish it? Mine has taken a beating and look quite worn.

Heres an idea . Tear masking tape into short strips and carefully mask the area around the inside and outside of the ring . Be patient and make sure you get the edge of the tape down in the gap .
Then take some steel wool and carefully use the steel wool to remove the scratches . You could then just polish it with metal polish or clearcoat it .
