Donny,
One method of refinishing is to remove the oxidized outer surface. That brings them back to original which is uncoated hard rubber. Wet sanding is effective on the steering wheel. Replacement is effective for the shifter knob. I recently bought a few knobs from Joe Rice (Joe's Farmalls) for $4 each.

Thanks fellas that would explain it. When I chucked the knob in a 1/2 drill motor and wet sanded it my hands truned as black as night. The knob sure cleaned up nice but it still has a few cracks. I was looking for something to fill the cracks but it sounds like it would be cheaper/easier just to replace the knob

Prob'ly good ol' JB Weld would fill the cracks... Might be a little more grey than the original black.

PC7 epoxy can be used to fill cracks and chips in the steering wheel. I cures to a substance similar to the original material. There are steering wheel repair kits on the market that contain the PC&, mixing sticks, mixing containers, etc., but it is cheaper to just buy the PC7 from a good hardware store than to buy the kit. It's easy. follow directions on the cans for mixing, file or grind out the cracks, degrease the wheel, fill, sand , and paint.
