Wood Restoration
 
I cleaned my 2003 Jaguar X Type's wood steering wheel with a cloth and water and scratched it. They are hairline scratches that can only be seen in sunlight or a light source like what you would see in a car's paint that has been buffed. Can anyone tell me a place that refinishes wood for cars in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area? I am looking for someone who can buff and polish the scratches out. I am looking for places that people have had experience with, but it is not necessary.

I too have some small cracks on my wooden wheel. I am thinking about the glue that hardens with UV light. That would allow me to wipe off the mess and only have it in the crack, before putting the light to it.

Has anyone used this? OR fixed it another way?

I don't have cracks. I have scratches.

Maybe just try some polish like you use on the exterior of the car if they are just slight spider scratches.
