I have used one of the kits from Eastwood.  I took a Dremel with a small 
'ball' type bit, ground out the cracks so that they would be wider in deep than at 
the surface.  I wanted the epoxy to have a better 'grip' on the parent 
material of the steering wheel.  Mixed up the epoxy and worked it in.  After a few 
days (I was slow getting back to it) I used the dremel again with a small 
sanding drum to remove excess epoxy and then sanded the wheel. The kit has a primer 
with it that is high solids material.  I sprayed that on and sanded some 
more.  Then I painted with a plastic paint.  Mine is black and looks very nice.  
maybe not councours, but still, very nice.  Other colors may be more difficult 
to get the look you want.  As with most things like this, the result is 
directly related to how much effort you put into it.  It is not overly difficult, 
but it will gobble up some serious hours to get it nice.
