kdancy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I have an nos 1951 Hudson ivory steering wheel. It smells so bad one can hardly stand it. Dont know what type of plastic it is made of. I'm wondering if I can safely scuff and clear coat with urethane clear to "lock" the smell in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 If it's leaching a smell, then seems like it might want to blister the clear coat. Have you tried polishing it. Might help seal it in. I've used mother's mag and aluminum polish to polish NOS steering wheels before and it works quite well. Not sure it will seal it but it might help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c49er Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 It's made of recycled dog poop. That's why it smells like that. But really it's the type of material used back in the day....cellulose acetate butyrate. When it starts to break down it smells awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
