My steering wheel was looking a bit tired... the cracks weren't bad but
the finish had become grayish with whitish patches, about what you'd
expect from 40-year-old Bakelite.

Didn't want anything slippery on it (eg ArmorAll) and finally tried a
bit of Thompson's Waterseal.  Instantly the wheel had the look I wanted,
not restored to "as new" but refurbished in keeping with the condition
of the rest of the car (which has a nice patina of age).
