Steering Wheel Cap Resto..
 

I was wondering if anyone had tried that solution that cleans up the plastic on the headlights of a car or truck and restores them to their original clear plastic look on a cub cadet steering wheel cap. If so, does it work well....just wondered before I went through the expense. Thanks!

I think in the long run you'd be better off buying a new cap. Most I've had have been so deteriorated that they weren't worth trying to save- they even were pitted in addition to all of the UV damage.

Agreed. Even if you can polish off a bit of the haze you will usually still be left with brittle plastic that has been broken down by the sun.

Cub Cadet 123 I have had different levels of success with the headlight resto kits.I used the 3M brand kit. I think it was about $16 for the kit. Depending how far gone the headlight is has a lot to do with how well they work. I have polished up a few headlights and they turned out almost new but were just turning a milky hue. I tried doing the headlight on my neon and it was just to far gone. I was able to get it back abut 50% which is better than it was. I also spent a lot of time on it.

Thanks guys. I was just curious about this possible solution and if anyone had any success with it or not. I thought that if I had some of that left over after working on my mom's car that she rarely drives I might use some of the left over solution on the cub steering wheel cap just to see what might happen. I wasn't expecting a bright clean, flashy new one to result....just to satisfy the curious itch. Thanks again for your input on my question!!
